I think the I Love Lucy show is hilarious. She just cracks me up! I recently found out that Lucy was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) when she was 17. The doctor told her she'd probably be stuck in a wheelchair the rest of her life. Well you can see that didn't happen. So now I am motivated by her example to keep fighting this RA and get back to enjoying life.Also laughter is highly recommended for RA patients because it helps reduce pain and depression that come with the disease. I have been trying to laugh more and it's been fun.
I recently read a very funny book by Robert F. Smith, " The Miracle of Forgetness. I'm still laugh'n about parts of it. On Sunday Aaron called his brother Justin (in Washington), then they decided to 3 way call his sister, Stephanie (in Utah), and then they wanted to call another sister, Lindsey, (in Idaho), so Stephanie 3 way called her and then to complete it they did another 3 way call to Sarah (in Washington). So three 3-way calls and they had all 5 kids on the phone talking at the same time and often over each other. I got one of our other phones and Stephanie put her parents on speaker phone. How great technology is. Well not a whole lot was said but as always when they get everyone together there was a lot of laughing going on. How therapeutic! I think Lucy had the right idea with her comedy to just keep laughing. Our local Library has several season's of I Love Lucy on DVD so I think I'll go pick some up and keep myself laughing.

What a great plan, just laugh your way through life! That phone call was ridiculous! It was impossible to get the kids to settle down with Daddy doubled over in fits of hilarity in the living room. Listening to him laugh is always contagious, though, so at least we all went to bed happy!
When we went to bed after the phonecall the other night, I told Dad, "I am the luckiest Mom in the whole world!!!!" It brings tears to my eyes (not from laughter this time) but from pure joy. I love how all of you get along so well and that definetly includes Jessica, Brandon & Brian. We are so blessed.
Brandon, I'm so grateful your health is improving. I got only a small glimpse last month of what you have been going through. Grampa LeRoy had RA and he got so cranky all the time. I'm grateful for your patience and your outlook.
