The Re-Energizing Power of the Pup! (and the purr)

Just back from my weekly volunteer time ay my SPCA. One day a week I walk dogs for a couple of hours and twice a month I host their TV Show called “Making Friends.” Some days I have to drag my butt in there but I always leave with a spring in my step and my heart.

According to Dr. Stephen Post, author, Why Good Things Happen to Good People: How to Live a Longer, Healthier, Happier Life by the Simple Act of Giving, “Stress related health problems improves after performing kind acts. Helping reverses feelings of depression, supplies social contact, and decreases feelings of hostility and isolation that can cause stress, overeating, ulcers etc. (like fatigue.) A drop in stress may, for some people, decrease the constriction within the lungs that leads to asthma attacks.”

Whew. That is a lot of good that comes out of doing good.

To locate your neighborhood shelter, go to PetFinder.com and click on the “Animal Shelter” Tab. For more information about the healing power of pets and purrs, click here: http://www.dogcaptions.com/page4704.html

Are You Constantly Tired? You May Be Suffering from Adrenal Fatigue

Kathy Browning is one of my favorite researchers and writers. Whatever topic she covers she explains in a clear, thorough and friendly vs. “high brow” manner. Her favorite topics are women’s health and gourmet food. Love that combo!

Here is one such article, very applicable to our topic.

Do you have a type “A” personality? Do you feel that you never do enough although everyone tells you to slow down and smell the roses? Do you eat a poor diet, have too much stress or get inadequate sleep? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be suffering from adrenal fatigue.

Research shows that nearly 80 percent of Americans suffer from adrenal fatigue. Yes, you read that right – an astounding 80 percent of the U.S. population is affected by adrenal fatigue syndrome.

When you’re on stage …

Today I remembered a saying that goes like this …
When you’re on stage it’s a tragedy but
when you’re in the audience, it’s a comedy
.”

A girlfriend and I was talking about some pretty tough stuff, tough love and laughing uproariously. Why? Because that’s the magic of friendship. It can turn the most bitter pill into a bag of delicious red and purple jelly beans.

And the reason there are so many people on planet earth is God’s way of giving us as many opportunities for friendship as possible.

If you’re reading this … go call a girlfriend about what’s bugging you. Get off stage, move directly into the audience and shine some light on it. Watch it melt away in a funny way.

On the other side — if you just couldn’t be any happier in your life than you are already I have news for you. You can be happier. Go call a friend in need and take them into the audience with you.

Life is short even if we live to old age. Let’s be joyful about it.
