Humor

[Catwoman]

Once in awhile, you come across someone who can make you smile...
A bit of humor, here or there, that helps to pass the while.
This path we walk can get to be a long and tiresome load,
And a bit of humor can go a long ways to smoothing out that road.
It doesn't have to always be so gutwrenchingly dramatic...
Even just a little smile can make your day much less traumatic.
So lighten up your burden...Stretch that mouth UP, not DOWN...
Try a little smile instead of a petulant, self-serving frown!

Great Cat! And so true.

Yes, this is true, more so than anyone would think.  This is the reason I post the "slice of wry" in the morning, because it is the first thing I read in my paper, which makes me smile (sometimes) and that gets my day off to a good start.  And, I share it just for the reason mentioned.......................to make someone else smile, even if it is a bad joke, or a third grade joke, or just something to lighten someone's mood.  It is important to me to start my day that way, rather than focus on my problems first thing.  Getting my joke first thing makes the rest of the day seem smoother.

Larry,

I always look forward to your slice of wry postings.  I have heard it said that a sense of humor is a real indicator of intelligence...The lack of a sense of humor points to such a low intellligence that humor goes right over their heads.  You are generous with your time in helping the rest of us to have our giggle first thing in the morning!!
