New Year

A new year often means starting over. A chance to rewrite yourself. There is nothing I need to do more than rewrite myself. I'm not going to be foolish about this, I know it will be a slow process. We move forward in small, often minuscule steps. Ten steps forward, twelve back, but we do move forward. Sometimes we race ahead sometimes we barely press forward hopefully momentum will take over.

What to I want from the next year? I want to learn how to take care of myself again. To remember that to take care of myself also means energy to embrace life. I want to laugh, a lot and often. As my blog title says, prescription: laughter. Laughter is the best medicine. Laughter makes you feel young. It releases those endorphins and lightens even the heaviest burden. I want to move, literally and figuratively. There is joy in an active body. When you use your muscles it helps to heal your mind. I want to spend more time with God. Healthy mind + Healthy body + Healthy spirit = Healthy Me!

So what can you expect from this blog. Well anything, it's kind of like a diary that I'm willing to share. Don't expect full exposure. We all have parts of ourselves that we don't fully expose. I will be as honest and transparent as possible. I believe that we learn from each other and there is a need for us to be open. Often we feel that we are the only ones feeling or reacting in a certain way. Well your not alone.

What you won't find. I don't plan on using this as an outlet for grief. Remember, the prescription is laughter. Grief may occasionally pop up because I am learning to move through it.

I hope you enjoy what I may have to say. If not, don't read my blog!
