Please do not leave children or spouses...except for that gentleman over there."   Pho  Photo of the Month:     Groaner of the Month: Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time. As a result, it produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. Thus he was, a super callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis Sign of the Month:       Questions of the Month: Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things and drink whatever comes out?'

She said that she often just flips opens the book and reads a page, "which always helps." And that is exactly the way I meant for the book to be used ...open anywhere for comfort and inspiration.   https://www.amazon.com/Embracing-Life-After-Loss-Growing/dp/1642500062/ref=sr_1_1?     _______________________________               Wanna get the MidMonth Mirth Memo every month?   SUBSCRIBE yourself or a friend to the Free MIRTH MEMO   https://tinyurl.com/yb9939v7     _______________________________                                                                                                                           follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2023 Allen Klein, All rights reserved.  unsubscribe from this list | update subscription preferences

I sought a therapist who told me that life was tough. I already knew that; I fired him. I read grief books to ease my loss. The authors told me about all the bad things I might experience—lack of appetite, loss of sleep, feeling depressed. I stopped reading. What I needed was a book that inspired me, that lifted me up, that comforted me and was easy to read. Not finding that, I wrote my own. That book, Learning to Laugh When You Feel Like Crying, is now available here:   https://www.amazon.com/Embracing-Life-After-Loss-Growing/dp/1642500062/?_     One Reader’s Comment "Allen's book resonated deeply in me. Not only did it help on an emotional level, but there were many practical, real life, suggestions. It's the kind of book that you can pick up and read one page, or many, and find healing benefits. A good book to keep on a coffee table or nightstand for many years after the grief journey begins…. Thanks Allen for contributing to the healing of many."    follow on Twitter | friend on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2022 Allen Klein, All rights reserved.  unsubscribe from this list | update subscription preferences
