Crying at Work

I'm an emotional person, easily getting angry about silly things, or sad about random issues - or happy about little pieces of news (especially if those little things involve new little people in the world!). I try not to, but there have been occasions when I have cried at work. From anger, from being insulted, after having read a sad personal message. Today I cried when reading a UNAIDS report (UNAIDS) is an umbrella for all UN and multilateral development agencies working on AIDS.   In the report were profiles of people on antiretroviral (i.e. AIDS) medicines, and questions answered by them on what they find most important in life. Many were parents, many had given birth when already HIV-positive, and the response was the same throughout: staying alive and healthy (possible with medicines), and having made sure their children are born and remain HIV-free (birth to a positive parent of a negative child is possible with timed medicines). A good and hopeful reason to cry.
