It's okay to Cry!!

Ya know- I grew up crying all the time. I mean it. Someone looked at me crossed eyed and I would cry. I have a very sensitive heart and soul that allows me to cry very easily. Since this cancer.... I have had a few quiet moments where I have not only cried, but sobbed. I told someone this week. I know I have cancer. But, on Tuesday, I realized I have cancer! It was a hard day. I just had a really good cry. It's Okay to take moments in our lives to just let go and cry. I shared my crying moment with one of the Doctors. She said we get caught up in the "Armstrong" cancer mode of being positive and everything is going to be great. But, you need to take time for you and feel sad at times. It is also Okay to laugh as well. Personally, I would would rather laugh than cry. I have done a lot of laughing this week.
I have had some wonderful visits. My sister, Sherry and her family stopped by and made me laugh. I had some wonderful friends and neighbors stop and just hang out with me. I had the Relief Society Presidency members come and spend an evening with me, and they made me laugh as well. Out of the clear blue I go two cards from friends. One from Camarillo and one from St. George. They made me smile and then laugh. I even got knock-knock jokes through facebook from my cuz.
I had kinda of a rough week. But, because of amazing people around me it was more than bearable. Thanks everyone for helping me through a rough one, without even knowing it. I know it is Okay to Cry.... But, it is also Okay to Laugh!
