Save Yourself (Joke of the Day, shared)

Submitted by: T. West

There were 11 people – ten men and one woman – hanging onto a rope that came down from a helicopter. They all decided that one person should get off, because if they didn’t, the rope would break and everyone would die. No one could decide who should go, so finally, the woman gave a really touching speech saying how she would give up her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands and children, giving in to men, and not receiving anything in return. When she finished speaking, all the men started clapping.

Although the joke is funny, I couldn't help but think how true the woman's speech is. The Women's Well~Being Circle is here to encourage you to take some time for yourself to rejuvenate. Read that chapter in the book, share best practices, or come have a fun night out with the ladies learning about something new or meeting someone new. It's a safe circle to finally answer the questions, "What have you done for you lately?"

 

Here is what Sharon had to say about a recent event:

"I had a great time. Just what the doctor ordered. I continued the trend and took time for myself the entire weekend."
