A Life Lesson From My Plumber

There's nothing quite like having a faucet on a bathtub break ...at 10:45 PM and watching hot water pouring uncontrollably.

Such was the case at my house the other night. Yet, it turned out to be a memorable experience in another way ...when the plumber who arrived model and amazing attitude and care.

Jeff Allen: A Comedian Who Helps Lighten My Heart

As caregivers, we need to lighten up ...it's just a fact. We often daily see serious, painful, and heartbreaking things, and we certainly cry enough tears ...but do we laugh? Sadly, many of us don't ...and won't without a bit of help.

I've always loved stand up comics, and one of my favorites is Jeff Allen. From the moment I heard his voice, delivery, and act ...I was hooked! He's on a new tour right now ...and I highly recommend you catching his show at a venue near you!

Jeff called the show, shared his story and his philosophy of humor and life!

As caregivers, we serve ourselves well to not wait for a "accidental" laugh, but to intentionally engage in things that can lighten our hearts. For me, it's stand up comics, funny movies, books, and shows. Along the way, those regular moments of laughter help me better shift the challenges I face so that they don't seem so crushing at times.

This doesn't just apply to me, however. Gracie loves to laugh ...and I love making her laugh.

How about you?
