I’ve been a bad blogger! 

But that’s the least of my problems.

I’ve been having a bit of an emotional meltdown this last week or so… (more about that in an upcoming post).

Then I remembered about the “keys to emotional freedom” and I started practising them.  It worked and I’m much better now.

1.  Gratitude

I am extremely grateful that I am not Joe the Plumber.  Or any plumber for that matter. 

Our neighbors have a tree that spreads its roots into our sewerage pipes.  Eventually the pipes become blocked and sewerage starts backing up.  This all came to a head yesterday when Sarie, my domestic, was doing the weekly laundry.  Foul-smelling water was bubbling up around edges of the drain next to the patio where I was enjoying the spring sunshine, and running down the side of the house.

Time to call Mike the Plumber.  I watched them work from a distance and let me tell you:  There is not enough money in this world to make me do that job.

Not only am I grateful that I’m not a plumber, but Joe the Plumber is probably grateful for his 15 minutes of fame.  It means 15 minutes that he doesn’t have to spend kneedeep in #&*@.

With so much gratitude wafting around, I was bound to feel better…

2.  Laughter

People have healed themselves from cancer by watching funny movies day in and day out.  Laughter really is the best medicine.

When I saw this clip on An Ordinary Life I not only got healed from my current depressive state, but will probably be immune for the rest of the year.  When I showed it to Craig, who had read about it in the newspaper since we don’t watch this channel, he literally rolled on the floor laughing.  It’s the first time I have ever seen anybody actually doing that!

So, I’ve shamelessly stolen it for you to enjoy!  It’s good for ya!
