We spent most of the 18th Day of 2015 (1/18/15) inside because of the rain and the black ice which caused hazardous road conditions, especially in the morning. So, as we usually do when inside as a family, we caught up on DVRed TV. And, throughout these shows, some dramas, some even reality (American Idol), I really felt an emotional connection with what was going on on the small screen. Why, I do not know. I know in the Strengths Quest I rank high on Empathy (#2 after my #1, Woo!), so I guess it is easier for me to place myself inside the situations, even on the TV, and feel what they may be feeling (or more likely what _I_ would have been feeling if I were in the situation). And, yes, I admit it, I cried. Maybe it's my cold I have been battling, maybe, I do not know, but for whatever reason, I was quite aware of my emotional connections today. And, although they get me in trouble sometimes, I treasure these emotions, I am glad when I am happy, and, frankly, everyone needs a good cry every now and then.
