You've cried at weddings, right? At the birth of a baby? And, of course, you've probably cried at funerals, but have you ever stopped to wonder why both happy and sad events, make you so emotional? Even worse, do you often feel like you're the only one? I will impart wisdom gleaned from professional conferences, seminars, books and articles and/or I will blog my personal thoughts. Either way, I hope you check in often, so you know that your tears are never shed in a vacuum!

ARE YOU PREPARED?
This may sound morbid to some, but hopefully, it sounds like good planning to more! Have you made your funeral arrangements or would you rather not think about "those kinds of things" right now? Better yet, would you rather just leave it to others, since you'll already be dead? There is a Jewish proverb: "We know we will die, but we keep hoping that we will be an exception to the rule." By making your funeral wishes known to your family members, you will be eliminating a great deal of stress for them. All you need to say or write down is, "This is what I want, and this is what I will leave to others to decide." Then, be sure to let these people know your preferences. Harold Ivan Smith
