Taking My 'Dr. Laura Vitamins'

Dear Dr. Laura:

When a recent caller commented that she finds your show "entertaining," you seemed a little surprised, since your show is for serious topics, not just mere entertainment.  But I have to admit that I find your quick wit and your on-the-spot anecdotes quite entertaining, and sometimes I laugh out loud.

However, I also gain much more than a few chuckles from your program.  Your shows are my "health vitamins" for my intellect and emotions.  When my days get hectic and I'm irritated and overwhelmed, the first thing I do is to drop everything at hand and grab my phone and earbuds and listen to your podcast and get lost in the world of Dr. Laura's teachings.  Once I start listening to you, I calm down. 

You often refer to the one cell amoeba knowing enough to move away from danger.  I recently heard a show about how plants make decisions!  They "decide" which way they need to grow so they can capture the most light, when to open up the flowers so they can be pollinated, when to shed leaves and prepare for new growth.  I know these are brainless decisions, and HUMANS have the capability to make decisions with intentions, but I immediately thought of you when I heard this.  As you always say, we need to make intentional decisions using our intellect.  Since we have brains, we need to use them wisely.
