There is a book called "Clan of the cave bear" the main character begins as a little child lost in pre-historic Europe who is rescued by Neanderthals.   One of the things which fascinates the Clan is the eyes of the little girl.   Her eyes leak water, theirs don't.

I read a moving little story today which made me weep.   Not with sorrow, but with happiness.   It started me thinking about tears.

I am one of those people who cry easily.   Crying is not something I find embarrassing nor does it make me ashamed.   It is just one of those things.

Some of the things that make me cry?  

Stories and situations which are sad, happy or full of endeavour.   Stories and situtions where someone overcomes huge odds to succeed.  

Music makes my eyes leak - some music reminds me of happy and sad things in my memories, music which I find beautiful brings tears to my eyes.    Music which is not necessary well performed, but is performed by someone I love.

I cry if I think someone else is hurting.

I cry if I can see someone has a problem and I cannot do anything to help.

There are lots more things which make me cry.

The one thing I do know about crying is that when its over I feel better and can think more clearly.

The act of crying is a biological function which is triggered by our emotions.   How amazing are emotions when they have the power to make our body react.

Human touch is always comforting, even when someone is crying with happiness.

Please don't think I spend my life with soggy tissues up my sleeve because I don't.   But I never go out without a clean hankie!!!!!!!!!!!                  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D             I smile a lot too ......................
