Laughter

"Laughter is the lubricant of the soul" . . . a quote from a friend who is also the minister who taught me so much many years ago.  What a great reminder!
I exercised this morning, meditated to release my worries, and I am moving forward with steps to re-energize my nutrition business.
I am feeling positive about what I can accomplish going forward.  It was amazing while I was exercising on my Gazelle this morning that I saw so clearly what my dear husbands death has brought forth for me, in a word  . . . clarity! 
It still takes perseverance to put one foot in front of the other, but it is getting easier and more purposeful.
Blessings and thanks to all the DS friends who support me, and each other, it is truly a wonderful place to meet and a terrific source of strength.

I love the laughter quote - so true! A time or 2 each yr. I go to Louisiana to visit old friends and relatives, and we tell old stories and laugh a lot. I always come home refreshed and feeling very good about everything. Another quote is \"Laughter is the best medicine\" -- and I feel this is true also.

Good for you - to be feeling positive and wanting to move forward. I am glad for you and hope that your peaceful days continue! Doye

Lindanne - it warms my heart to hear how well and how clear you sound! Exercise helps too doesn\'t it? As sad as we are at the loss of our dears it is our jobs to find a new happiness and peace - it sounds like you are finding yours and that makes me so happy and proud of you!
Blessings,
Linda
