Hahaaha Hihihihi Hohoho..

Finding the humor in life's challenges, and particularly as it relates to the chronic illness, is what helps us to get through the day, reminds us of life's absurdities, and provides relief from the stress and strain of our treatments.

If you have been feeling sad or low, perhaps it is time to search for the humor in your life. In fact, the secret to a happy, joyful life is as simple as A, B, C ?

Attitude is the key- be positive!

Believe in yourself- that you will get through your adversity.

Cheer others with your sunny disposition.

Donate your time to those less fortunate.

Eat dessert first!

Find a humor buddy to exchange jokes with.

Give the gift of laughter.

Ha ha, ho ho, hee hee. Tickle your funny bone.

Invite your friends over for a celebration.

Join a support group.

Keep your spirits up.

Laugh at least twelve times daily!

Make a journal of all the funny experiences you've had.

Nurse yourself with special treats every day.

Order something whimsical from a catalog.

Pursue a passion- something you have always wanted to do.

Quit that bad habit today!

Read a humorous book.

Smile at everyone you pass by.

Talk to an old friend you have not heard from in ages.

Upbeat books, tapes and videos can cheer you.

Visit your relatives- even the ones who annoy you.

Write thank you notes to your caregivers.

Xercise daily.

Yes I Can are words to repeat every day.

Zzzzz?get plenty of rest to be your best!

Attitude

I don’t know who wrote this poem, but it’s a good, touching piece...

Attitude

There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?"
So she did
and
she
had
a
wonderful
day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

"H-M-M," she said,
"I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?"
So she did
and
she
had
a
grand
day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her
head.

"Well," she said,
"today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."
So she did
and
she
had
a
fun,
fun
day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on
her head.

"YEA!" she exclaimed,
"I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly.......

Leave the rest to God


Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain.
