"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Perfect Moment Monday: Healing Laughter

Welcome to Perfect Moment Monday sponsored by Lori over at Write Mind Open Heart (formerly Weebles Wobblog). Lori says that "Perfect Moment Monday is more about noticing a perfect moment than about creating one. Perfect moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between."

I was talking to a dear friend who is hurting so very badly...and, despite the devastating loss she suffered, I was able to make her laugh, not once, but twice. I hope the balm of that laughter did as much for her as it did for me.

Go check out the other perfect moments at this week's Perfect Moment Monday on Write Mind Open Heart.

I'm so happy you were able to make her laugh. I bet when she got off the phone with you, she felt better. You;re a good friend.

I've been thinking, through this ordeal, that our friend is lucky to have you around. You are certainly a deliverer of perfect moments.

Hugs to you.

I'm so glad she has you as a friend. I know she's hurting so badly right now, but I'm really pleased she knows she has you thinking of her and, through you, the rest of us as well.
