Laughter: They Say It’s the Best Medicine.
Posted on June 8th, 2009 3 commentsThis week is definitely off to a better start than last. Thank you for the emails/instant messages of encouragement after my frustrating week with that relentless diaerobics instructor…they helped.
Diabetes can be a challenge but, this week, I’m reminding myself about the importance of seeing the humour in things. Having perspective is so important when it comes to dealing with chronic disease. I highly recommend that all of you read this article, written by one of my favourite D bloggers, Kerri Morrone Sparling from Six Until Me. It sums up my feelings exactly. While I’m often amused by little elements of my diabetes life (frozen lancet, anyone?), this disease does have the ability to knock me down. At those times, I need to remember that laughter can be the best medicine.
Figure 1. Hysterical laughter with silly friends
In hopes of lifting my spirits, I Googled “diabetes jokes” and found this post at George Simmons’ D blog. The following riddle made me smile:
Q – How many diabetics does it take to change a light bulb?
A – None. They will just use the light from their pumps.Hahaha. It’s funny ’cause it’s true.
