Mary’s Minute
“Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But
you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to
do.”
~ C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. My kids laugh about me being a crier. In fact, sometimes they bet with each other
about how soon it will take me to cry in certain situations (like them giving
me a nostalgic gift or on a special day).
Although crying in front of people is awkward, I think
tears can be a good release of emotion.
Emotions, or at least mine, seem to be at an all-time high. I like the C.S. Lewis’ advice, though. Having an expression of emotion is good, but
once we stop crying, we still have to go on – we need to get to work, make decisions,
and live our best lives.
Tears may flow, but I promise that I can still work
hard and do what needs to be done!
Hang in there, everyone!
