Good Medicine

I've told you Jody and Ed came to town. We've been having a great, great time. The endorphins a being released readily with all our laughing (and consequence leg crossing). I've tried to keep up my schedule of morning walks with my 7th child Kirby and it was an incredibly cool morning with clouds; something in which I rejoice. While walking I was pondering on the joy of family and most especially all the laughing that I do with sisters. I'm talking really big laughing and often. Which led to me thinking about what good medicine it is to be with loving, laughing family. Family in which you feel totally safe. You know there is no talking behind the back, love, unconditional love. Love without expectation or criticism. As I reread this I realize I'm talking about Christlike love! I am feeling very healthy with the big dose of good medicine I've enjoyed the past several days. Then the thought process led to one of the most important reasons dear family came down and that is so Ed could find an additional avenue in which to combat his cancer. He spends part of each day at a clinic in the valley, bravely and hopefully takes this medicine--48 supplements in the middle of breakfast and 48 again at dinner. A slightly smaller amount at lunch. Plus several droppers of body-shuddering liquid with each meal also.
I hope the laughter medicine has been helpful to you dear Ed. I hope the mismatched walking shoes I mistakenly wore yesterday added to your health. I hope when the little rubber gasket on my eyelash curler stuck to my lashes and I walked in to show it to you & Jody dangling on my eye added to your improved health. I hope as I shamefully showed you my interesting interpretation of the man walking in Target the other day made you feel stronger. I hope as Jody and I told you of our antics in Bath and Body Works thinking we were rubbing lotion into Jody's entire arm and it turned out to be a thick, grainy body scrub was good medicine. I hope when you heard that Jody and I started cheering and clapping as the man on the microphone in the Goodwill store announced senior citizen discount that day of 25% made more endorphins for you. May we all enjoy good medicine, unconditional family love and good health. Love and prayers for each and all. 3
