Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I can't imagine you needing a boost to have laughter in your life! You are a bundle of laughter and you lift my spirits every time I read one of your posts! You seem to be so full of life and so full of joy! Do you have a glass of wine when you post? Just kidding! Smiles and laughter! You have a way of teaching others to laugh even when they don't feel like it. You free spirited ways helped pull me through the loss of my dad. Thank you! Anyway, you are a wonderful person who seems to help others even if you aren't trying! Keep it up my dear friend. Love, Katherine Elektra Fire <elektra.fire Thursday, May 10, 2007 6:38:54 AM Re: Re: Dilemma - Kerry I find that when I'm focusing on my meditation alot and staying at home in china I need to have a " giggle " now and again. I find that having a glass of wine with friends always leads to buckets of laughter and alot of sloppy " I love you's " . I stay away from any kind of negative stimulation and thoroughly enjoy myself. I guess thats the reason why I partake occasionally. When I haven't laughed in a while I look forward to a good excuse to giggle with the girlies. I always feel like it's been a medicine the day after and rarely have any ill affects.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 This list certainly gives me the giggles now and again.... Suprising as it seems, I can become quite serious, especially when I share my home with someone who is serious or going through internal struggles, or working alot on the computer. I do have a gift of positivity and I am generally happy even when serious, I have a child still alive and kicking within and she plans to stay a long while Thankyou for your loving words Katherine, you certainly bring a smile to my face , big hug and congratulations for all your recent activity and triumphs.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Elektra, I know you have compassion for others and I know that you can be quite serious when you need to be. I have seen it time and time again, but you have a wonderful gift that flows through your words and you are able to lift people's spirits with them! I know without doubt that you are a very loving and caring person. You DO have a positive attitude that filters through your words and it touches people in the most sincere way! I love to read your emails, they do make me giggle or smile from the heart when I read them. I like you have a child still alive and kicking within me and like you she plans on staying a very long time. As I have always been told, you are only as old as you feel! I feel childlike! What about you? Laughter and Giggles! Love, Katherine Elektra Fire <elektra.fire Thursday, May 10, 2007 7:16:08 PM Re: Re: Dilemma - Elektra This list certainly gives me the giggles now and again....
