I’m recommending that everybody go out to a good TV show, play or movie, preferably a comedy, this week. I went to the Walnut Street Theater and saw “A Comedy of Tenors,” and it was a much needed reason to have a good laugh. We’re expecting bad winter weather, everybody is grumpy, government workers are desperate and we still have months until spring (and Captain Marvel). So find a reason to laugh in a good comedy.
As a country we seem to have lost our reason to laugh. Sure we’re having some tough bumpy times lately, but stress is a big problem everywhere too, and the cure is to find what gives you positive feelings, not negative ones.
Having just been diagnosed with hypertension, I realized this week that I needed to chill a bit myself, and I tried to this week. It wasn’t always easy. It’s about finding your happy place and visiting it whenever you need to, not just when you can.
It’ll be raining a fountain tonight. I’ll stay inside and go to my happy place.
