It is so important for the human spirit to have fun. Fun can rejuvenate, restore, uplift. Research indicates that fun and laughter actually can change our bodies at a cellular level. Last night Dwane and I celebrated the end of the decade of 2009 by going to the symphony. The brain and memory class we took last fall emphasized how much music can help the brain. The instructor felt music was able to "line up" the neurons in the brain. Dwane did seem to enjoy the symphony and does seem to be functioning well this morning.
A reading of this morning by author Leta Miller says, "Our physical bodies, like the universe in all of its Wonder, are always changing." That is a helpful analogy. Perhaps it can be helpful to see that the changes in the human body are a natural process, perhaps dementia just "hurries things along", perhaps it can be seen as less odious. I will try.
May 2010 bless us all with peace and well being.
