Endorphin Rush
How can I make you feel?
That’s a rather loaded question, isn’t it? How can I make you feel?
But, as I struggle to crawl out of the mental dumpster that has been my particular “new normal,” I decided that it’s time to do an about-face. It’s time to help myself by helping my friends here who might be feeling like they’re carrying the weight of this effed-up world on their shoulders.
In other words, it’s time we all had a good laugh. The kind that makes us snort like wild donkeys. With tears running down our eyes and snot trickling from our noses.
Hey — no shame, right? Who’s going to see? I’m sitting here in a pink sweatshirt with a spot on the front and baggy “clown pants.” So I’m fairly certain that the “giving a damn how we look” ship has sailed.
So, how can I make you feel better? “Good,” even?
What can I do to light you up and illuminate those feel-good hormones known as endorphins?
As you’ve been so generous about reading my rants, it’s only fair that I attempt to stir up some fun for the people who, aside from my husband, our cats, and my sister’s family, give me a reason to get up every day?
That would be you, gang. And you can bet your ass there’s going to be a prompt at the end of this.
