It reminds me how different my life is from one year ago today, or how different it will be in 12 days when I celebrate my birthday. Yes, this year will be different. Holiday traditions will change and I will be reminded in January that my marriage ended. I admit I texted him this morning just to say hello. It seemed so cruel not to, but at the same time, a reminder of what has transpired in the past year.
So, in light of this past year of change I have decided to participate in 31 Days with Nester.
The point? 31 days of writing about something that you want to write about. I thought about this a lot... 31 days to share with you all something about me. I thought about my faith, my daily laughs, food, working out, etc... but instead I decided I would share with you 31 things I have learned over the past year. The good, the bad, the funny, the hard, here is 31 Days of Lessons.
Day 1: It's Ok to Cry
I have always cried. I have cried when I am happy, sad, upset, frustrated, etc.. you get the point. But I have learned its ok to cry with others. Let them see your pain. I am not good at letting people see me hurt or not "perfect." I had to learn that crying helps you let go of the pain and hurt.
Im here if you need me friend. Text, call, send smoke signals and yes its always ok to cry
ReplyDeleteCrying is incredibly cathartic and needed in life. It's better to let it out then bottle it up.

I love this lesson. Personally, I feel so much better after a good cry!
ReplyDeleteI love this! And agree - it's DEF okay to cry. Sometimes a good cry is just what you need to truly express yourself. You've had a hard year, but have remained strong and positive through it all!
ReplyDeleteBut, we won't be crying on Friday!:) Big smiles for Friday! We can share an early-birthday-to-Lynn brownie too if you'd like:)
