Between Jack and my surgeon, I didn't get a chance to put off any needed exams or surgery. Let me check my calendar. To get a hug you have to give a hug. And that also applies to petting cats and dogs. I found that even when my breast was most tender because of an infection and radiation I could still hold a baby.
Laughter is a gift that makes all things better.
Each of us has a sense of humor that is tickled by different things. To some the slapstick, the obvious jokes of the professional humorist are funny. To me it's the sly turn of phrase and the irony and ambiguity of life. Whatever makes us giggle or guffaw is good for our bodies. Don't sweat the small stuff.
