I have had such a great week. Work is going well, and my job is such a blessing. I am continuing to walk and eat healthy. I even missed a few days of walking and let my food slip some and I still lost a pound. The best thing I have gained is peace. I have peace with where I am right now. I know I will not be perfect, but I am still moving forward. I want to laugh more. In group we were talking about it and the very next morning, I passed by Crossroads school on the way to work, and their new quote was...
"Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects." I love to laugh and I am really funny, but it seems that at work I a hard time lightening up. I am going to make an effort to laugh more, to joke more. I want to bring joy and happiness everywhere I go. Of course I don't want it to be forced. I want it to become second nature. "Laughter is the best medicine." I think I heard somewhere that it boosts seratonin or something like that. And speaking of funny. I love these lists that people have come up with. Some of these are really funny. Enjoy, and oh yea LAUGH
