Get Jazzed & Joyful Today:
Today is about the gift of laughter. With the holidays approaching we can sometimes focus on all the things we have to add on to our schedule, all the things we now have to do to get ready. We can become very somber and serious.
Laughter is good for the soul, good for the heart, good for those around you. It is an excellent stress buster for the holiday season, for day to day life and to allow more joy into our hearts and minds.
So today's humor is brought to you by Loretta LaRoche:
We live in a world of excess, in which how much we own defines who we are. I'd rather BE "too much" than buy too much. It's so much easier. I'll never have to have a yard sale to get rid of myself.
Indulge in pleasure whenver you can. Eat dessert first, take a nap in the middle of the day or watch a squirrel fall off a feeder.
For years I heard my mother's stern voice in my head whenever I cleaned the house; "Make sure you clean the underside of the toilet bowl!" I finally realized that no one that short was ever coming to visit and I didn't give a damn. What voices do you carry in your head?
An average 5 year old laughs more than 400 times a day. An adult? FOURTEEN. Do you think that is why so many adults need laxatives?
No one respects a martyr unless they are giving their life to save another. Believing that people are going to canonize you because you cleaned the house or spent extra hours at work is not the pathway to sainthood. I have yet to see a statue called "Saint of Perpetual Responsibility"
Why do normal people take workshops on how to deal with difficult people? Why aren't the difficult people taking workshops on how to deal with the rest of us?
If you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice. If you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.
Accept the things you cannot change, Change the things that you can - And Laugh at all the rest.
Have a Light and Humorous Monday!
