Hi everyone, my name is Flora.
I was a birthday present for mama (Nicci) that her dear friend Sharon sent back in November. Sharon says she saw me and thought immediately of mama. Must be the hair!
Anyway, when I arrived at the Fletcher household, they were struggling a bit. It had been a tough couple of months. Life was all work and no play: which makes mama a dull mama regardless of the colour of her hair.
Both mama and papa had been attempting to reconnect with the fun side of their lives. In fact, mama has written a couple of blogs about the importance of laughter. You can read “Existence is easier with laughter in your life” here. The second blog, “The healing power of laughter” is here.
To be honest they have been good and often watch comedy and satirical programs in the evenings. “Have I Got News For You” is a firm favourite. However, this is external stimulus that makes them laugh and not things they do to have fun themselves. There is a difference and having fun is still seriously lacking at the moment.
“Never, ever under estimate the importance of having fun.” Randy Pausch
I couldn’t agree more. This is where I come in. My New Year’s Resolution is to ensure that mama and papa DO things that make them laugh.
