Day 6 of what I am thankful for...

oddly enough, today I am thankful for tears. I by no means enjoy crying but there is something so unique about tears. This last week I have cried harder than I ever imagined I would. And for the first few days they were painful and exhausting tears. Tears are like built in therapy, they have this way of washing away the pain. Then I started having moments that were so profoundly amazing and touching I found that the tears began to fall again but for totally different reasons. I haven't cried in a couple of days now. Although I imagine I will still have moments where I'll have to rely on tears to wash away the sadness, I'm not afraid of those moments of weakness. I have learned to embrace them because tears remind me that I am still human, that I am here, and that I can still feel. Right now that feels like a whole lot. :)
