Caregivers and an Instant Vacation
Tuesday Jun 14, 2022
Tuesday Jun 14, 2022
Legendary comedian Milton Berle (Mr. Television) once stated, "Laughter is an instant vacation."
As caregivers, we certainly shed plenty of tears, but do we laugh?
Caregivers certainly top the list of those needing an "instant vacation," but few give themselves permission to book the trip. When our life remains so full of harsh realities, how can laughter be appropriate?
In this episode, I invite fellow caregivers to take an instant vacation with me as we laugh for a bit.
"...a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;" Ecclesiastes 3:4
