I've had reason enough to be tense lately. So I thought I would look into the mysterious world of meditation. Wanting to try something for free first, I hopped onto the website for the local library. It took me to the Lakeland Cooperative website search screen. I looked up 'meditation DVD' and it returned a few hits, displaying that none of the copies were located close by. I would have to request that they be transferred to my library. Instant gratification - denied.
I clicked on one that said it was in Idaho or Pluto or something of equal distance. It said, "on shelf." I clicked on "Place Hold." A message was returned, "We don't have any copies." Huh? I just saw one!
Thinking I did it wrong (but knowing deep in my heart that I didn't), I tried it all over again. KDL.org, 48 digit library card number, Lakeland Cooperative, MetCal (whatever that is), look up the DVD and again got rejected.
I ended up trying three different ways and almost dissolved in to tears, swearing at my laptop and yelling, "it's there! it's there!"
I thought of the irony and just started laughing. I was about to have a stroke caused by the sheer anger of trying to locate a DVD that would relax me. Laughing about it made me feel better and that is when I realized that laughter - not meditation - is the best medicine.
