Water

There is no doubt that water is essential for the survival of every thing that has life. I think of all the tears that I have cried throughout my life thus far. I've probably cried more than most. Being a single mother of three is not easy and the fact that I'm extra-sensitive doesn't help. My grandmother told me that when I was a little girl, if anyone even looked at me the wrong way, I would burst into tears. I believe crying is what I use most to express how I feel, whether I'm expressing happiness OR sadness. What can I say? I'm just a big crybaby! The point is...all those tears were necessary for my mental and spiritual growth. Okay, maybe not all of them were necessary but they provided growth nonetheless. And I HAVE grown soooo much. I actually like the person that I've become. I couldn't say that a few years ago. I thank God that most of my tears these days are brought on by sheer happiness and joy instead of sadness. I'm blessed! You may not always know what to say, what actions to take, or what thoughts you should have. But if tears are falling down your face, rest assure and know growth is taking place. Too much of anything is bad for you so be careful not to over-water. Even so, there's nothing like a good cry!
