According to my husband Laney has it made, or did he mean she has a maid. It must be the same maid my husband has. I believe that maid is the one I see in the mirror each morning(LOL). Any ways Laney has had a busy week taking care of both of us. She has been faithfully taking care of my husband after every chemo treatment. She lays by him in the bed, she sits on him on the couch, she follows him where ever he goes. But, this past week she had to step up to the plate and take care of both of us. I was a little under the weather. She had two people to sit on and two people to follow, it must have been exhausting. But, according to my husband she has it made. Here is my list of why she has it made.
10. Doesn't have to take a daily bath
9. Doesn't have to shave or comb her hair daily
8. Doesn't have to shop for food
7. Doesn't have to fix her food
6. Gets the top of line all natural food (where's our prime rib?)
5. Gets a daily back and belly rub
4. Gets to go to the groomer for full pampering and she leaves us with the bill
3. Doesn't have to wake up to an alarm clock
2. Doesn't have to clean up any messes
1. Gets to nap all day on the bed while my husband works!
Yes, Laney you do have it made, and WE LOVE YOU!!!

Laney passed away in Febuary of 2017. This blog and her legacy live on. She gave me courage to talk about how the medical field affected our family. She gave me a purpose to write. Forever she will be in my heart.

A Bowl Of Laughter
This past Sunday my husband and I had the pleasure of attending a sermon by Joel Osteen about the power of laughter. I have been a blessed person when it comes to laughter. I married a very funny man and have been blessed with a funny dad.
After listening to Joel, I discovered why my dad seems so young for a soon to be 81 year old man. Joel said studies had been done on the power of laughter keeping people young and helping people heal when sick. When ever we laugh we release good endorphins that help our bodies to stay young. My dad seems to know the secret, because as long as I can remember he has always laughed at life on a daily basis. He looks great for his age and has fooled many people. He has told me also on many occasions that he is not old yet. He says you are allowed to say your old when you hit 90.
I feel that I have his sense of humor, so I'm a lucky lady. My husband also has been blessed with a good sense of humor that has helped him through his journey with cancer. Thank goodness we have been able to laugh at some very difficult times. And, I think we look young or maybe my eyesight is going bad.(LOL) Okay remember to get a bowl of laughter a day and make an appointment to see my dad, he will make you a believer.
Whoops I forgot to mention my four legged friend, Laney. She is of course part of my bowl of laughter. If you need laughter just invest in a four legged friend. They can provide hours of amusement. For example, she chases her tail, spinning in circles yet never catches it. And of course she loves to eat toilet paper or get in my purse and eat my list of passwords to my accounts. Oh well, what can I say? I LOVE YOU LANEY!
