Dear friends,

The title of this post is tongue in cheek. I deeply believe in the dignity of grief, and our world has a LOT to grieve right now. At the same time, some of our personal problems are not always the catastrophe they at first feel like, and it is this viewpoint I’m nodding toward here. But! It’s up to you to decide. Does today feel like a good day to cry? For yourself or others? Go for it! And/but if it feels like a good day for dark humor and/or some light joy, please pull up a chair. (I’m having rooibos lately, you? There’s lots of room at our tea table. Come on over.)
