I can't underestimate the importance of laughter! There are just some things that amuse me now and I am embracing them. TV shows: "Who's Line is it Anyway?" "Two and a Half Men," "Big Bang Theory," "Kathy Griffith," "Flipping Out," just crack me up. The kids' sense of humor, and Katlyn's "full body" hugs. Matthew thinks its too "Arkansas" to hug me. Which cracks me up too. My funny little Lhaso Apso, Maggie, loves me and is the goofiest little thing. I say all the time that she alone can get me through the depths of my MS. Listening to anything by Harry Nilsson--a blast to the past--brings a smile to my face and a song on my lips as I walk or workout.
And my Dr. wrote me a "prescription" that says "No housework FOREVER!" Which my son framed and put up in the kitchen. Now I doubt it will inspire anyone in this house to do chores in lieu of me, but it makes me laugh out loud everytime I look at it!
That and antidepressants and I have it made.

I carry a tray of unwashed crystal glasses precariously
Through traffic.
The errand is unclear.
While trying to cross the street
Safely,
A car casually careens by,
Upsetting the tray and me.
The tumblers tumble, the glass
Crinkles, tinkles and falls; I cry out!
Bending to view the damage, I see
Quite clearly, the glass remains whole.
Reaching to reclaim the crystal;
I touch the first, second and the rest.
They crumble at the touch of fingertips.
My mind fogs
I fall, tumbling, and spill onto the concrete.
A soiled crystal pierces me, bloodlessly.
A funny thing happened to me on my way to back surgery:
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Join me as I figure out what this means.
