Don’t Forget To Laugh

News blasts all our senses Covid Covid Covid Fires Floods BAM take that and if you’re still in the ring of life and not brain addled from all the punches visible and invisible then here’s an idea.

Laugh!

Find something/anything to laugh at!

Sit down and watch your favorite comedy movie or TV show.

Read your favorite funny comic strip.

Be goofy, be zappy happy because you choose to be.

All of life is a choice.

Yes there are terrible things happening, yes I wish I had a magic wand and could go Abracadabra and make Covid disappear, stop floods, fires, accidents, you name and I would wave that wand in a heartbeat.

But I don’t.

So here’s my radical idea.

Pay attention, be involved, help any way that you can both big and small…just don’t forget to laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine so I’m told.

I think it’s true and so I’m going to laugh as often as I can.

Hope you will all join me.
