Now there is no smooth segway here - so let me abruptly announce that I have not cried in 3 weeks. Maybe 4. I might be lying. Possibly 2. Regardless, it's been a long time. lol In fact, it wasn't until 3 days after, that I realized I hadn't even cried on my one year anniversary. (Or as my friend Amy calls it, ""divorciversary".) I guess I was too busy driving the strip with my new buddy, Dave, and enjoying Vegas from the back of a motorcycle with my gracious friend Jack. Dinner and a movie ended the night beautifully. I didn't cry because, apparently, there was nothing to cry about. What a great place to be in!
Which leaves me confused. Tonight I have nothing to cry about, yet I decided to let loose and allow a few tears to hit the ground. It felt great, so I'm convinced crying is a necessity for my health. If you haven't had a good cry in awhile, I suggest you give it a try! Just make sure to have Josh Groban blaring through your headphones. He takes a cry-fest to a whole new level.
You're welcome.

I'm glad you had a good "divorciversary". You look really HOT on that motorcycle. I think you must have made a few guys cry!
HAHAHA. It's good for their health. ;)
Gracie has your eyes! I was looking at a picture of her and it's a dead ringer. So sweet!
K. I guess I chatted with you too late last night. I had a dream with you and your sweet little Gracie. Strange. Nothing too exciting happened in it- Just a lot of talking!
Love ya girl!
I love love love Josh Groban and have cried many a time with him! :D Good choice! And I personally feel like a good cry is the cheapest therapy! Works things out pretty well!
The Protection of Tears
There are times in a woman’s life when she cries and cries and cries, and even though she has the succor and support of her loved ones, still and yet she cries. Something in this crying keeps the predator away, keeps away unhealthy desire or gain that will ruin her. Tears are part of the mending of rips in the psyche where energy has leaked and leaked away. The matter is serious, but the worst does not occur — our light is not stolen — for tears make us conscious. There is no chance to go back to sleep when one is weeping. Whatever sleep comes then is only rest for the physical body.
Sometimes a woman says, “I am sick of crying, I am tired of it, I want it to stop.” But it is her soul that is making tears, and they are her protection. So she must keep on till the time of need is over. Some women marvel at all the water their bodies can produce when they weep. This will not last forever, only till the soul is done with its wise expression.
