Who needs it? - Is there someone in your life who always seems to know just what to say to make you feel good about yourself? Do you gravitate toward people who smile easily and laugh loudly? I do. In fact, being around someone who seems to enjoy living and loves life is often as pleasant and soothing as a piece of chocolate candy. Did I go too far just now?
I guess what I am trying to say is that I am learning that for years, I used certain foods, like chocolate, as a way to feel good. I treated sweets like a special friend, one I wanted to keep all to myself. I would use these sweet treats as a way to feel better about life, to improve my circumstances, to promote happiness. I am just beginning to realize that friends, a couple of really good girl friends, will do just that for me!
We all need to laugh and to have people in our lives who can sweeten the moment for us. Meeting with these folks always gives me something to smile about and someone to laugh with. Do you have anyone in your life like this? Are there a couple of friends who you can call that will walk you through a time of temptation, who will steer you away from a binge and provide a laughing spree instead?
Scripture encouragement for today is from Proverbs 16:24 "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones."

Hi Judy! I agree. I find that there is nothing like the daily filling of being with light-hearted friend(s). A good friend with a good heart is the greatest energizer in my day. I try to be that friend for someone else because it is so important to me. It's catching. Filling up on laughter IS better than going for the chocolate! HA
