⚡ Energy: Surprisingly good
💖 Status: Recharged by laughter
😆 Outlook: Turns out laughter might actually be the best medicine
Today I got to meet a couple of friends from work for brunch, and honestly, it was kind of amazing.
For a couple of hours, I got to talk about something other than appointments, schedules, doctors, treatments, and all the other medical and cancer-related crap that has taken over my life lately.
It was refreshing.
Actually, it was more than refreshing — it felt normal.
We laughed so hard that by the time we left, my cheeks actually hurt. I’m not kidding. I had to massage them like they were cramped muscles just to get them to relax.
Apparently when you spend weeks mostly talking about cancer, your face forgets how much work real laughter requires.
And I kind of loved it.
For a little while today, I wasn’t a cancer patient.
I wasn’t someone in the middle of radiation treatments or dealing with side effects or counting appointments.
I was just Tina.
Sitting at a table with friends.
Laughing so hard my face hurt.
And honestly, that might have been the best therapy I’ve had all week.
