A Calling That Counts

Yesterday, I was the substitute teacher for the cancer survivorship Laughter Yoga class. It’s always a small class of cancer patients and caregivers, who are looking to a break from the anxiousness, anxiety, and worry that cancer can bring. I’d stepped in several months ago and several of the patients and caregivers were back. The couple from Hawaii, she was out of her wheelchair, and a woman about my age whose eyes told me she was glad to be back. I’m always nervous at the start of teaching, but as we warmed up, giggled, and laughed I found my peace and let myself “just be” in the moment. We had fun, some of us laughed till we cried; tears that wipe away our fears. Allow yourself a moment to “just be” today. Laughter Yoga MDACC
