Balloons

Ever want to say something to someone but are not sure how to put it into words?

I have heard, recently, from a few of my readers, that they frequently want to comment on my posts but never know quite what to say.

In my opinion, this is a good thing. This means that my overall tone and expression is having its intended effect.
I want to evoke the complicated emotion of encouraging others to better understand the trials of people like me, while also expressing the fact that I am happy and have a full life.

My aunt came up with a simple (yet brilliant) idea of using an image to convey that complicated feeling. To show support and understanding, she uses a balloon emoji. To show that she is thrilled for me in my happiness but saddened by the fact that so many mundane activities cause pain.

So if you ever feel the urge to comment but have no idea what to say, just toss me a few emoji balloons. I will understand exactly what you mean.

Thank you so much Auntie Carole for coming up with an innovative way to communicate a complex feeling.
