The satisfaction of a good cry

Isidore of Seville, in interpreting the Psalms in the seventh century, seconded the idea that tears produce satiety. "Lamenting," he wrote, "is the food of souls."

I am "card correspondence challenged." Can't seem to get a handle on the sending of cards to properly acknowledge people and events. When I should send a nice thank you, get well, sympathy or birthday card I have the thought but then never get around to doing it. Email saves me on the birthday thing most of the time. But on the paper card front, I literally have about a 10% success rate. If you are one of those that I have snubbed in this way over the years, please don't take it personally. I am an equal opportunity snubber!

Just saw a beautiful movie..."August Rush." Unrealistic...but who cares? Great music and so heart-warming.
