Hormones.

I was in the kitchen for a long time today, getting dinner ready, crying off and on and feeling a little bit sorry for myself, listening to Simon and Garfunkle.

A little ray of sunshine came bounding into the kitchen, and insisted that I pick her up and dance with her.  She ignored my sniffling, and wouldn't take no for an answer.

I picked her up and swirled around the kitchen, seeing the background blur and watched her throw her head back with laughter.  I laughed in spite of myself, with my skirt flying around, and tried not to bump us into the table or knock our dinner off the counter.

I had been feeling so alone, and this little act, this little dance, made me feel good again.

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
