Over the weekend Adam and I caught Disney’s The Kid on T.V. I had only seen it once before, and it was fun to watch it again. I was reminded of that great line in the movie (used in my title) this afternoon when I was reading a Thesis forwarded around my office.
Apparently, one of my coworkers assisted in the idea for this Thesis. It’s called “Economic Development Criteria and Project Prioritization” by, Jason McGee at BYU. (Side note - After seeing his name, I secretly wish my last name was McGee… Lol).
The point I am trying to get to is, I was browsing through this 124 page document to try to find where my coworker was mentioned, and I happened upon this statement in his acknowledgements,
“Last of all, I thank my family for their love, encouragement, and curiosity during
this project. My educational accomplishments would have never happened without all of
you behind me. You are all my rock on which I build. Thank you.”
As I read that, my eyes started to well up with tears. And then I just started laughing at myself because that is a really silly thing to cry about at work. Lol!!
I’ve heard before that crying is just a release of tension. I think that is so true! When I have a lot of pent up tension because of whatever is going on, I feel like I can cry at the drop of a hat. I definitely have some tension to release right now. Recognizing that makes me feel better because maybe it means that I’m not just emotional. I ought to go for a jog to get rid of this tension. =)
Hahahaha!!! That's funny. When I have built up tension I start swearing like a tsunami. Then I start punching things. Like pillows. And yell lots of random noises.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wish I would cry instead of go on a hulk-styled rampage.
Exercising when you've built up tension is really nice too. Nothing like beating an elliptical down into the ground!!
