My Answer is Laughter and a Walk
Soul Writing’s blog http://tinyurl.com/keqkm8e this morning asked “What are the two best cures for anything? Before reading more, I looked at my canine companion, Pepper, and said: Laughter and a walk.
And nothing excites me more than when whatever path I’ve chosen to walk turns up a surprise, like this great blue heron that I cam upon while following the above path at Brazos Bend State Park in Texas. — Photo by Pat Bean
At the sound of the latter word, Pepper’s eyes sparkled, her tail waved and she jumped around in a way that made me thing she was laughing with joy. I think Pepper likes to laugh as much as I do.
So I took her for a walk before coming back and picking up reading where I had left off reading. I wanted to see how Soul Writing answered the question. I was 50 percent in agreement with the blogger. She thought laughter and sleep were the two best cures for anything. I don’t know what her third choice would be, but mine would be chocolate.
This wondering-wandering old broad would love to know how you would answer the question.

A walk on the beach at sunrise. A hug.
Oh, I do so love hugs.
I agree with you on the chocolate Pat. As for walks, the fresh air and a beautiful environment will always do wonders.
Yes, yes, re walking in a beautiful landscape.
While I completely agree with you that laughter and a walk will cure anything, I’d like to add a couple of my own – learning/discovering something new, and spending time with a friend. Of course spending time laughing with a friend while walking someplace new would be the ultimate cure for anything, especially if there’s chocolate involved! 😉
I think you just found the best combination possible. I do so totally agree.
Laughter is right up there. I do love a good walk, but a good night’s sleep can change the whole outlook of the day. Hmm. But then there’s chocolate. Oh, and a great book. And a sunrise. What was the question again? 😀
