Laughter is the best medicine
Chocolate is a close second
Today, I laughed for the first time since Tuesday.
This morning in the shower, I finally had a good cry, full body shaking sobs.
Before lunch, I put on my headphones and cranked up the music, rage-cleaning the kitchen from end to end.
This afternoon, at Costco of all places, my amazing husband used his magical ability to make me laugh until my sides hurt.
Tonight, I ate rotisserie chicken and baked chocolate chip cookies.
My stomach isn’t sure what happened to it, but I’m feeling like hope might be possible.
Never underestimate the healing power of a good belly laugh, and a belly full of cookies.
Take care of yourself. We need you here.
I miss chocolate! I lost the ability to eat it when my mast cell condition got worse - but thankfully I can still laugh. And live vicariously through the chocolate chip cookie adventures of others.
What is your rage music?
Thank you, Dawn for a post I could commiserate with after the election. I am laughing reading "Thursday Murder Club. Self care is so important! Small joys like blackberries for breakfast, daily walks, hugs, and sunshine in Boston.
