Cry If You Want To :)

What a difference a week makes....In weather, in laundry :), in perspective.  Our plate is still rather full and nothing has magically disappeared...But things are lookin' up and I am rather relieved about that....

A friend, who knew we were having a rough time last week asked if I had heard Holly Cole (jazz singer) before? Nope, I hadn't. My friend said "well there's this song she sings"....... Its says exactly what I would  tell you...."It's okay to cry, I won't tell not to"


Cry (if you want to)
by: Holly Cole

Cry if you want
I wont tell you not to
I won’t try to cheer you up
Ill just be here if you want me

It’s no use in keeping a stiff upper lip
You can weep you can sleep you can loosen your grip
You can frown you can drown and go down with the ship
You cry if you want to
Don’t ever apologize venting your pain
Its something to me you don’t need to explain
I don’t need to know why
I don’t think it’s insane
You can cry if you want to

The windows are closed
The neighbors aren’t home
If it’s better with me than to do it alone
I'll draw all the curtains and unplug the phone
You can cry if you want

You can stare at the ceiling and tear at your hair
Swallow your feelings and stagger and swear
You could show things and throw things and I wouldn’t care
You can cry if you want to

I won’t make fun of you
I won’t tell any one
I won’t analyze what you do or you should have done
I won’t advise you to go and have fun
You can cry if you want to

Well it’s empty and ugly and terribly sad
I can’t feel what you feel but I no it feel bad
I know that its real and it makes you so mad
You could cry

Cry if you want to I won’t tell you not to
I won’t try and cheer you up
Ill just be here if you want me; to be
Near you
{My New Favourite Song}

I can be guilty has anyone, when someone comes to me with a worry, I automatically think "how can I fix it".....

Last week I didn't need anyone to fix it for me, or jump on the frustration band wagon with me. I just needed someone to listen with out criticism and understand without judgement. I just need that shoulder to cry until I  could remember how funny life really is.....

Our lives are truly blessed with the best kind of people....Thank you my friends. {All of you}
