Daily dose

It's Friday again, how fortunate are we? We have so many Fridays in a year which means that even the grumpy people out there are still happy at least once a week. I am feeling ill *insert snarl at the ordasity* but for some reason I still feel chipper.
I was explaining to my lovely man, last night, that it is truely a blessing having such a sore throat from being sick. It stops me from saying thoughtless things. It's like a toll gate boom has gone down on me and I can't continue my journey until I have paid the required fare. It has also slowed me down from crazy-ass-speedy gonzales to strolling-hazey bambino. For those of you who don't have a Sam decoder, it just means I have been appreciating the concept of 'now' a little more than usual.
It's amazing when we slow down, be more thoughtful with our words and actions and learn the joys of appreciating even the most frustrating things like illness, we can smile a lot more often.
It's a fact that children can laugh and smile us adults under the table.Really, they do put us to shame! And, sure, we have more responsibilities and concerns but we also have a lot more experience than them. This should mean we have a lot more wisdom than them, but yet here we are doing ourselves huge injustices by depriving ourselves of the best medicine...laughter!
So I say to all of you, go out there and smile like an idiot, laugh at yourself harder and embrace your inner child! Who knows? Maybe this could be the next good habit your form and the next better life you lead!
