Happy, People!

Brain cancers is...

 ...wishing you family, friends, and happiness.

Another strategy Team D reports using as a current coping mechanism is acceptance.  Team members report that they try to accept that they feel how they feel in any given moment. (We resonate with this strategy for sure.  We alluded to "acceptance" shortly after Darrell's diagnosis, in this 2/16 post--Emo Party Games.) We find it easier to appreciate or move on from an emotion once it's named.

We woke up feeling a little blue this morning, missing our families.  We practiced some acceptance, wallowing for a few minutes in our sadness.  Then we could move on with more productive emotions like feeling bad for all the people who have it so much harder than we have it.  And like creating some happiness.  

Above is the first ever Munns family virtual Easter gathering.  It filled our hearts that so many family members could make it on just a couple hour's notice.  We definitely won't wait until next Easter to get together again!

When we opened our door this morning, we saw...
An Easter basket for the times on our magic porch.  It contained traditional Easter sweet treats and timely treats like Isopropyl alcohol, gloves, and--everyone's favorite--toilet paper! Laughing out loud!

The efforts of the Easter bunny (ahem, Christine) made us so happy that we decided to spread a little happiness to other people's porches with our own goodies. 

And now it's time for the Greek feast finale.

Whatever you celebrate today, we wish you family, friends, and happiness.
