That happens to me sometimes.

I will try and think hard if it was a dream, or my emotions about one thing or another surfaced before or upon my waking up.

Usually, I go with it, and let the tears cleanse away - this way I can think about it more clearly after.

What did bring it on?
What is it my mind and emotions are trying to tell me?

What am I feelings just below the surface that I need to face or address or at least note?

I find this helps me move through the rest of the day better, when it happens so early.

I did discover, for me, some of those tearful awakenings recently are due to my waking-up realizing that I have no one around me and it's another day where I face some more serious things without the people I want to comfort and be around me the most IRL ... that I miss them ... that I am facing things basically alone. This is very sorry making for me. A sadness that re-appears.

The tears cleanse me and I can think. I then reaffirm the positives, and go about changing the things in my life that I do not currently want or like at all, for that matter. I have now figured out what to do about this particular sadness, but I must wait for a year or so to accomplish the solution.

By the time I'm going about my day, I find things to smile about, even laugh at, or get seriously down to business with, and it's all because I decided how I was going to feel about things I can control within myself.

It's when we are caught like this, unaware in the morning, greeted with such sadness, that it is hard to think, when we are figuring out what has happened.

Allowing myself to cry does helps me feel better afterwards.
I let it go. I trust myself that this is teaching me something I really need to know.

I'll cry a river if that's what it takes.
I want to get better.

I hope it was okay to share these thoughts with you.

Peace and Comfort,
night
