They say "laughter is the best medicine"...first I don't know who "they" are however I do agree with them. Laughing and humor is an everyday occurence in my life, I love to make people laugh, I have a wicked sense of humor & always enjoy making people smile even in the wake of some dreadful situation...but never at someone else's expense.
I am trying to find humor with the AF situation. Just last night while I was washing the dinner dishes, my husband says "honey, your butt is leaking"...LOL...yep, that is my man. I have been wearing these "AF shorts" as I like to call them every day. Between the creams & ointments, I have already ruined a few other pair so now I wear these ones while at home. Upon further inspection, I noticed a big ol' streak down the crack area...ROFL ! I told him..."for better or worse, in sickness and in health, you signed up for this (as I am pointing to my bum)".
Today, I was running some errands and while driving in the car I was jamming out to the radio. Music has a way of putting me in a better place & I love it when an great tune comes on & you are in your own little world rocking out. Anyway, one of my faves comes on ...Bob Seger and he is singing "watch 'em come & watch 'em go, with only one thing in common, they got the fire down below"...I just started laughing...I know when he wrote that song he was not referring to AF....or maybe he was ?! LOL..
Laughter makes you feel good. And the good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.
More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh–or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better.
