Laughter
Shopping Night
I took my son and his girlfriend shopping tonight. We were out too late and I think I got too tired. I kept dropping things – it was ridiculous and funny at the same time. We even stopped to get a snack before we headed home so my son could get the full “Sonic” experience […]
Life of Laughter
When I worked for a retail store many, many years ago, we were like a family. As time went on, people went many different directions, but a large number of people stayed in touch. One good friend in particular seems to be connected to just about everyone. She contacted me the other day and told me […]
Push the Button
When my sister and my mom get together, they always laugh so hard it brings my sister to tears. Today did not disappoint. My sister came to town and we went to visit my mom in the rehab facility. My mom said she needed to go to the bathroom. The call button was next to […]
Better Than Text
Usually the only mail I get is bills, solicitations, or advertising. I was excited when I saw an envelope hand addressed to me. It was from my good friend who I saw in the hospital when my mom was getting ready to go into surgery. Her sister was getting ready to go into surgery at […]
Beneficial Laughter
My mom is always reading magazines and articles about health and well being. And most of the time she reads out loud to help her keep her voice strong and to share with my dad and I. Today she read about how laughing can increase the immune cells and antibodies in your system. It was […]
Making Candy
A couple of years ago, a friend and I spent an evening making Easter candy out of chocolate melts. She also taught me how to make a homemade version of Cadbury Eggs. They were fun to make and delicious to eat. Last year I missed doing anything like that. This year I decided I wanted to […]
Celebratory Day
We had such a great celebratory day today. First we had a birthday party for my sister who is turning 50. She and her husband bought a farm last year and are preparing to get some chickens in the next few months. She has also already purchased all the special seeds for her garden, which […]
Laughing Day
One of my daily prayers is to be joyful. There are so many things daily to be concerned, frustrated, angry, sad, or worried about. As I have said in the past, I don’t want to live that way and I don’t want to live in fear of what the future will bring. So, I pray […]
Celebrating Thanksgiving
It was a frigid, icy, snowy morning. We knew it would be like this, so my sisters and I got up early to check the weather and decide if they wanted to attempt to make the hour and some drive to celebrate Thanksgiving today, or postpone. They decided to go for it. For the past […]
Laughing the Night Away
Tonight one of my closest friends came over. We had not seen each other for quite some time. We had dinner along with my parents and brother. We caught up on recent events and reminisced on some in the past. I showed off pictures of my kids and their kids. But, as usual, we spent most of the […]
