in reply to @littleoaksc52 I'd say there is a lot to cry about these days, and I too often cry at the drop of a hat. I attribute this to my sensitive artistic nature. Just reading an item in the news a few days ago brought tears to my eyes. Crying is healthy, and often after I have cried I really do feel better. Just the relief of letting go of all of this grief I carry around with me. Grief about the lack of humanity in our world, the lack of empathy from others you expect them to have and things of that nature. Sometimes just looking at my now dead dog's picture still brings tears to my eyes, and I tell myself I would give my right arm to have her back for just one minute. In any event, I choose art and gardening to help me through these trying times. Yes, I talk to my plants and tell them how beautiful they are. I rescue plants people leave by the dumpster. If a small piece of one of my succulents falls off, I replant it. Crying can be very cleansing and is not necessarily a bad thing.
