"Do the best you can, and don't take life too serious."

— Will Rogers

I have an early morning appointment with my physical therapist today. She is easy to talk to and we laugh and make jokes between me counting to 30, and her deciding what to make me do next. We are both pleased with my progress and talk about how a few more sessions should do it. I come out an hour later feeling alive and happy. I think about this on my way home and decide to try not to take life so serious. I wonder if she understands how her easy-going personality is a bonus to her patients.
