best medicine

Why is Spandau Ballet’s True such a feel-good tune? Whenever I hear the syncopated intro, I just know something good is about to happen like a good mix of nostalgia, happy-sad, and outrageous hilarity. We recently started watching Modern Family and I think it’s utter genius. There was a hilarious episode in the first season where the song True was featured and I realized how the song reminded me of the ‘good old days’…and the movie the Wedding Singer. Forms of entertainment that are lighthearted versions of real life are fantastic ways to appreciate ordinary life and that truly, laughter is the best medicine. Someone once said that they make sure that they have a good laugh daily. I resolve to do the same. I also resolve to do some form of exercise. Before posting this, I did a very short heart-pumping session and that 10 minutes actually made me feel rejuvenated. I was feeling lethargic and sleepy despite sleeping in this weekend, but the increased heart rate from that super short exercise lifted my mood. So that’s another thing I can do for myself this new year. So cliché, eh?…the whole resolutions thing? Nah, let’s do what we feel is best for ourselves. When we feel good about ourselves, loving others and being present flow naturally. 

I know this much is true.
