I Found Myself in Tears Three Times This Morning

Man, it’s been quite the day already. It was busy for a Tuesday. Hell, most of my days are pretty jam-packed. I put 12 to 15 hours a day into my Substack. Anything extra outside of those hours really makes for an exhausting day. But those days are especially kickass and fulfilling. This morning’s chat with an old friend and a couple of other posts that I saw brought me to tears. Good ones, though. I take pride in being able to let my emotions out and to fully embrace them. Between that and doing another Substack Live with my good friend, Rusty Shackleford, it’s been a damn good day. Let me tell you about it in today’s podcast episode. I appreciate you all taking an interest and lending me your ears. I hope you’re also having a wonderful day and can appreciate the range of emotions we all feel, too. © 2026 The Mouthy Renegade Writer. All rights reserved.
