As much fun as I had this weekend, I sure am glad it's over. Boy am I pooped! Now, I get to go back to my normal, healthy diet and workout regimen. My body seems to be AB-solutely pissed at me right now. It's taken quite a beating these past few days. Hamburgers, bratwursts, fried chicken, fried zucchini, fried squash, apple pie, cherry pie, rhubarb pie, cheesecake. And that was just breakfast! HA HA! But seriously, it's time to get back into a routine. That's the one thing I can't stand about vacations: it sucks getting back in the swing of things. Oh well, I had fun, and that's all that counts. Telling stories, sharing laughs, and creating memories. That's what life is all about, and I'm very thankful that I'm able to spend it with the people that I do.
Um, let me see, we started a new "series" at church this week: happiness. Each week during July, we will be learning how to be happy and how to spread our happiness to others. I sure hope it works. There are way too many unhappy people out there that I just feel so sorry for. I honestly wish I could take away everyone's pain. Their stress, their anxiety, their depression. It sort of rubs off on me. I am not content unless everyone around me is content. And I am able to easily read other people's emotions even if they're not showing it. I can sense it. I feel it. It's weird. I used to think it was a curse, but now I realize that it's a blessing. By being able to understand people, I am better able to help relieve their pain, if only temporarily. I believe that laughter, is most definitely the best medicine. It's proven to be greatly effective for treating not only emotional health, but mental, and even physical health, as well; there are absolutely no side-effects; and it's eco-friendly. And, there I go again, off on a tangent. I sure am good at that.
Anyway, I think it's time to look at the world differently. It's time to be grateful for what we have instead of yearning for what we want. It's time to give instead of take.
