Prompt: "Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." Dolly Parton Steel Magnolias Write about this in your Blog entry today

There have been so many times when it’s been difficult to tell if I was happy, sad, or even in pain! I think I’ve cried through all those times. You know those times when you’ve fallen off your bike or stubbed your toe and although you’re in pain you realise it’s your stupidity and the pain will soon disappear. It’s laughing at yourself through tears. I’ve cried when sad too, perhaps at a funeral when someone tells a funny anecdote about the deceased which makes you smile through the tears. But the best time is at the birth of a new baby, whether it’s been my own, my grandchildren or great grandchildren, the emotions are strong, overwhelming even and I’ve cried through each event. Mostly for relief that it’s over and the mum and baby are safe, and just for the miracle of birth and at the moment the new baby looks around at this world.
