A Lovely Email

I received this last night:

Hi Ronni,
I'm not sure where I would post this on your blog, because your original post was a while back. But I will tell you this about you and what you bring to this world via your blog: I doubt I am the only one who thinks of you every single night and smiles before I go to bed when I have to go to the bathroom. Because apparently I have a bladder the size of a pea, and if I don't pee right before I climb under the sheets I WILL have to get up 15 minutes later. Your little blog about that very phenomenon still makes me laugh. Thank you!

It makes me feel good to laugh and to generate a chuckle or two in my friends. It's sort of rueful laughter, but then, when you get right down to it, most laughter is.

If we can't laugh at our condition, we are in sorrier shape than we think!

  1. Oh so true! My problems start at around five in the morning. Just to make my last hour and a half a nightmare. Do I get up, and if I do, will I get back to sleep?

    I'm usually so uncomfortable that I can't sleep anyway. The trick is, never look at the clock.....

  2. #1: You have to get up. If not then, your later awakening could be damp.

    #2: There is plenty of time to sleep when you're dead.

    #3: That's why the Lord invented Advil...
