There are so many sayings, slogans, and mottos in the English language. What are some of your favorites?
One that I have taken to heart lately is "Better out than in." A very wise friend has echoed this a few times in the past year when I needed to cry it out. When I was young, I thought that crying made you weak. Not so my friends, in fact, the chemicals in tears actually are for healing. It is science, look it up! (and if you have never seen Kickball Dad on social media, stop what you are doing and go watch a few of his videos. He is hilarious and says: "look it up!" a lot.
Yesterday, I was reminded of this as I was tearing up on the way to swimming with some friends. I had just heard that two of my dear uncles had passed away. Yes, two in one day. I loved them both and had just spent some time with them on our trip to Wisconsin. Oh how the impromptu dinner with Uncle Dan is cherished, and I am so glad we were able to enjoy one last A&W root beer float with Uncle John.
Ellis looked over at me in the car and said "Oh Mom!" in the kindest sweetest voice. How wonderful it is to have children who get me and support me and cry with me. Tears are one of many things that are better out than in, but I will save any other bodily functions for some other blogger.
