During recent months, I have found it relaxing to sit on the patio late in the afternoon, looking at the sky, wondering, just idly reviewing, perhaps, things from the past in my mind, usually nothing very specific. And, lately, I find for no apparent reason, tears come into my eyes. Not much, not sitting there bawling, OK? Just a few tears, as though my mind is considering something that is beyond my cognizance. Is this common? A mental aberration, perhaps? It's only occasional........ Frank
See your other post about meditation. Perhaps you should practice meditation...or perhaps you are just missing your wife.
Sitting on the patio, late afternoon - looking up at the sky ………. For me the sky has a wondrous affect on us, gets us thinking - nowt wrong with that Time to reflect is good but also take time to wonder at the sight you behold Enjoy that time - unburden yourself
I have become much more emotional as I have aged, @Frank Sanoica , tears are cleansing so I would advise you to just let them flow, not bothering why or where they come from, if they become troublesome then maybe counselling would help, or meditate on them if you can as @Don Alaska suggested.. The other factor is the longer we live the more losses we are likely to experience, this brings up the fragility of life for me, and heightens my experiences of nature, people, music and the wonder of it all.
