Did you ever notice?

How sometimes, a pat on the back can push you over the edge?

This morning, someone who loves me sent me an email and closed with these words, "You're doing a great job...." And, surely, it was meant as a pat on the back.

And, just as surely, it pushed me over the edge.

Sometimes, when we're tired, or stressed, or overwhelmed, all it takes is a kind word to open the flood gates. I started crying when I read this morning's email. And I've been weepy all day. Lol

Thanks for the kind, loving words. Now, pass the tissues.

xoxo
