Why Women Cry...

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for

no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the

world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to

endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her

children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when

everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and

fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her

children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults

and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom

to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed.

This is hers exclusively to use

whenever it is needed."

You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

You know, I find this to be so damn true. And it kind of puts things into perspective. I know that I have been whining a LOT lately. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me and I ahve had a LOT on my mind. Some of the stuff too emotionall draining for me to even put here.

But truth be told as the above mentioned, God did make us women to be nurturers. To be strong. To be tender. And yes, even emotional. It's not a sin to hurt, to get angry, or even to cry. (hell, we can always blame a rush of estrogen right?)

And although I would love to experience the joys of being a "Penis Toting Male" for a day and live high on a testosterone buzz...

I am damn glad God made me a woman.

Tomorrow's going to be a better day. And the day after that even better. At least, I will try. And if not? I'll get over it.

I always do.

Simply,
