Mary! I love this post! Laughter through the tears IS better. Whatcha gonna do, right?! Well, you've opened the blinds to the fact that I am not the only one facing filing challenges and frustrations and down right avalanched with STUFF! It's okay to cry and release the tension of the state of our lives, our country's dire situation, and the flood that comes with loss and deepest grief. Thank you for reminding me of that, and for reminding that laughter is good medicine. The biggest hugs to you! We'll all get through this, especially when we know we are not alone in it!

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜🤗

P.S. Extra thanks for the pilgrim hat observation! I spit my tea all over the place, but that was so spot on! Have to say her recent choices of dress have been VERY telling! That 'handmaid's' collar at the church service, sheesh.....is all of this a push to get the women who worship her hubby to follow her in line?! Wow....just, wow!

Maybe there will be a push for "Life Back in Ye Old Witch Trials Days." Wendy, "Yes" to laughter as good medicine!!

HaHa! That is a scary thought! Though, each day that goes by, it looks like you might be right! I wear my "They didn't burn witches, they burned women!" shirt as often as I can! It's all so incredibly disturbing!

Letting go doesn't mean forgetting. It helps you to not let such things happen again. Though don't let it make you dwell in a negative space. Easier said than done I know............

True. For me, I don't know if I ever truly let go of anything! But, it makes for interesting thoughts and dreams.

Maybe let go is a bad phrasing? Learn to adjust?

How frustrating about the retirement money! I would be super upset about that, too. But any song with Sara Bareilles in it makes me happy (and of course Rufus W).

True, true, true. And, Sara B. is such an amazing song writer/singer. And Rufus W. and his soaring voice...I once heard (via youtube) him sing Joni Mitchell's "Blue." Oh my stars, it blew me away!
