Never underestimate the power of a good cry. It washes out all the bits of frustration, disappointment and disgruntledness that accumulate on the soul.

Sounds counterintuitive, but I think the world would be a happier place if everyone would indulge in a good old-fashioned sob-fest every now and then.

I read Marley & Me so there was no way I was going to see the movie. Still, I’m pretty sure we were on the same date except I’ll neither confirm nor deny that I was watching Andy Richter Controls the Universe on DVD. I’m a WINNER!

We inherited our couch from a friend. She specifically called it an excellent “napping couch.” And she’s been right. It’s turned out to be so comfy that I can reliably expect my husband to fall asleep whilst watching tv, leaving the heavenly cloud of our king-sized bed entirely to me (and my dog). Thank you, ugly yellow couch.

I am having my shake-the-baby moment right this second – heinous tears and all. Here's hoping I am bouncy as fuck tomorrow. And the next day. And the days after that.

(Oh, and fantastic blog, through and through.)

I COMPLETELY agree with you on this one. I have to cry every few days to let things out, especially when I don't or can't exercise as much as usual to get out the agression. Then one small thing pushes me over the edge and I'm sobbing like a baby. My mom usually takes the brunt of this, and is usually confused as to why one little thing set me off, but….you know, I just *have* to.

I actually got a little emotional too….BUT I have grown a little tired of most American movie's……and And especially Owen Wilson's straining to talk through his intentionally puckered mouth thingy he's got going on…..But I guess he makes up for it by not getting his broken nose fixed. It was OK but certainly not a Forrest Gump.

Oh my. I have a date with myself to bawl my eyes out sometime between now and Monday. I've got to put these things on my calendar, yknow?

Great post; beautifully & honestly said.

I've been totally avoiding that movie — I know it would bring back memories of every pet that passed away, along with memories of the deaths of cherished humans. I'm just not that strong. I can deal with wincing physical pain, but the emotional stuff brings me to my knees.

I suppose it's the result of some terrible chauvinism, or maybe some long-latent survival gene; but nothing tugs at my heart strings more, than to see a woman cry. I saw my mother cry a total of three times when I was growing up, and once I brought on the tears by saying that I doubted she loved me. I've never forgiven myself for that last time.

Hear, hear. And here, here.

Well said. 7 years of not crying had me emotionally paralyzed. Now I cry all the time – at anything and everything and sometimes nothing. It's WAY better.

Hear, hear. Really and truly, when it feels like nothing is going to solve things, a good cry gets it done. After that, I can clean up and ANYTHING is manageable.
