Emotions

I have always been a little more emotional than the next person. I was always one who cried during sappy chick flicks, (I think it all started with My Girl) but these days it seems I have become alot more emotional. (And I'm not pre menopausal or PMSing). Tears start to well up at almost anything, things that are heartwarming, that are sad, that are uplifting. I felt the tears coming watching the commercials that they have been playing on tv for the upcomming 2008 Summer Olympics. The one that show the runner who gets hurt and Morgan Freeman is talking saying how he didn't finish 1st or 2nd, 3rd or even 4th, (and you see his dad run out to help him) him and his dad finished dead last but he finished. And the one with Kerri Strug gets me too. Maybe its just Morgan Freemans voice or the fact that I watched and cheered for Kerri Strug as she made that winning vault. The Eric Clapton song "Tears in Heaven" has always brought tears to my eyes but lately it seems along with the welling tears I get that choking knot in my throat as well. You would think that the older I got and the more life that I have witnessed the less emotional I would be, but sometimes even watching the news makes me cry.
