HAPPY EASTER TO YOU Mom: The chocolate bunny, once a source of so much happiness. Now, it only brings guilt. Guilt before eating. Guilt during eating. Guilt after eating. But what if we just say "NO!" To chocolate bunny guilt? What if I give YOU a bunny and you give ME a bunny and we simply give each other permission to enjoy it? What if this tiny bunny contains a huge lesson about acceptance and letting go and appreciating the sweetness of love and family and sharing on this special, special day?? Mom and Cathy: Chomp Mom: Hoo, boy! We're going to regret THAT one later!! Cathy: DAD!! Dad: Don't look at me. I tune out mother's sermons when she's anywhere near an Easter basket.
Happy Easter! The Lord is risen and all is right with the Earth, no matter how it looks. It’s all in God’s hands.
As for the comic, I have embraced my aging body. I wear what I want, I eat what I want, within reason, and without punishing myself for it. I am the lady from the poem, When I am Old, I Shall Wear Purple. It took a cancer diagnosis, but I am finally happy and free to be myself.
