| Dream A Little Dream ... |
| 01/06/02 -A funny thing happened on the way to the ... well, that�s just a line. I�ve been pondering humor, or the lack of it lately. For some reason or other, I noticed that I hadn�t been laughing much, let alone feeling a smile. Yikes, that�s a bigey for me seeing as it doesn�t take much to make me laugh and if there�s anything I�m complemented on consistantly, it�s my smile. But I actually noticed it, my face felt funny. That could be it, I pondered. The people I had been in contact with lately lacked humor, some were depressed, some were angry. One person and I chatted for less than five minutes and I almost became the �B� word I was getting so frustrated. Talk about incompatability ... It was more than obvious. Why so serious? I guess these people didn�t feel being depressed or angry was sick or they would have remembered that laughter is the best medicine. Fortunately I figured out the problem and was ready for the cure. So, I went out for some music (another item I find to be medicine) and got a bonus, music plus humor. Our performer was very witty. It didn�t take much of either to getting me back on the road to total health. See, it�s true, you don�t know what you�re missing until it�s gone. The next opportunity I had to chat with someone the lovely pill healed me again. Thank goodness, I sure didn�t want to have to give up on people. The conversation was effortless, and very pleasing. Humor doesn�t always have to be spoken, however. Walking into someone�s home and finding it to be a palace full of crystal and cherubs was, I�m sure, not intended to be humerous by the designer. Nonetheless, it was totally humerous to me. Take that in a nice way, please. Me being a seeker of smiles these days. I don�t know this person well enough to say �What were you thinking?� I probably never will. So, I think I�ve conquered another delima, I sure wouldn�t joke about that. LOL. And now I know when my face gets to hurting, I can look back through my journal and say, �OMG, I am the silliest person I know� ... And that makes me smile. |
