I owe this idea to Douglas Adams.

I  came across this idea watching the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It seemed like such a good idea to me that I'm trying very hard to  incorporate it  into my life. It now has a different meaning to me since I am faced with a more advanced level of disability.

The first really trying issue was when I no longer felt that I could drive myself. The next was when it was clear that I should have a wheelchair -- a power wheelchair even. Life stole my ability to drive and stole my ability to walk without assistance but it really hits a tender nerve when it threatens my sense of humor. Hope is still hanging in there.

My sense of humor is having one last gasp. I have decided that my guardian angels are Abbott and Costello. It seems to me that they are having a great time just seeing how my sense of humor rescues me hourly. It gives me joy to imagine them laughing at me laughing at myself! Also I find myself joking with them then asking for a little bit of assistance. The three of us have a grand time dealing with my different losses of ability and the funny things it makes me do!

I'm glad that you're sharing this with me. One of the reasons that I can is that I have dictation software so it doesn't take me four years to write a paragraph! I must admit, though, that speaking all of the punctuation is challenging!I

I will talk to you tomorrow!

Here is a little giggle for you.
