To Cry or Not to Cry

Okay, so I was going to write a whole blog about:
  • The Pros and Cons of Crying
  • When Is It Okay to Cry; When Is It Not?
  • Criteria for Good Crying
  • Why Some Women Don't Cry; Why Some Don't Stop
  • Why Some Men Cry, and What's NOT Wrong With That
  • Sentimentality Has Its Limits
  • Cry Because It Feels Good
  • Don't Cry If You're Trying to Manipulate Me
and finally:
  • The Thinking Person's Guide to Crying
I even started writing. But it was taking too long because I was thinking too much—and crying in between because I kept thinking about how much I missed my children after they left for college. Thinking made me cry, and crying made me think.

What I learned
Don't think about it.
