Inappropriate Laughter Thursday
Today is Inappropriate Laughter Day. For it, I bring you a joke about meditation. I’ve written about my struggles to meditate. Yet, despite how much I poke fun at the practice, I must state that I really do believe in meditation wholeheartedly. I do it regularly and it probably is one of the reasons I’m not in a mental health hospital.
I try to do it just about every day, and when I last a whole 10 minutes, I think two things:
- I’m glad that’s done.
- That was the longest 10 minutes ever.
Still, I do it because meditation falls into that general category of things that are Good For Me But I Avoid Anyway. In other words, it’s just like exercise, sex, and tooth flossing. I always feel better about myself, the world, and all of humanity once I’ve run a good 3 miles, gone at it with my husband, or have extracted the crud from between my teeth, but I seem to be able to come up with a myriad of excuses for not doing any of these things.
My excuses range from “It’s raining” to “I’m too tired” to “Didn’t I just do this?”
I’m sure you can relate.
Just as I’m sure you can relate to the following guided meditation. I hope you enjoy today’s Meditation for People with Axes to Grind as much as I did.

I personally try to check all four items off my checklist at once… BUT, most women get annoyed because silent sex with your eyes closed, covered with sweat and bleeding gums is not very romantic.
I think it is more effective to bundle exercise and sex, then when you are done meditate while you floss.
