Like a lot of women, I tend to shed my hair like a dog losing its winter coat. My husband can't take any credit for clogging the shower drain with his flat top length hair. But he is usually the one who puts on the plumber hat and declogs the drain. His secret, a cup of Drano every so often. It works to keep the water flowing evenly and smoothly.
I run through life trying to be the very best I can be. Lots of little stresses and "to do's" pile up and leave me feeling clogged and looking for relief. While I always remember the phrase "this too shall pass", I'm still looking for relief. Relief for me comes through doses of friendship and laughter. What is better for shaking lose all that binds us up than a good belly laugh?!
At least once a month, I get together with my girlfriends for a great dose of stress battling laughter. "Drano" for my marriage comes in the form of dates which we try to do weekly. Sometimes it may just be snuggling up and laughing about some of our "inside" jokes, or things our kids have said or done. When you feel the need for relief, make the time for a cup of "Drano"! Making the time just might prevent a flood.
Inspired by Proverbs 17:22....love it!
22 A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
