Life
is fun and full of all sorts of quirks and funny moments. No matter what job
you are in or what your circumstances there is always a moment in each day when
we can take time to laugh at ourselves or the situation around us. I found a
saying once that I really liked and I think about it often when times are really
tough and it is "Don't take life too seriously, you will never get out of
it alive". All our gravity and seriousness must be balanced with humor to
make us reasonably balanced people.
Watching my children
react to what life dishes out to them teaches me a lot of lessons. Have you ever
noticed the way a child can hurt themselves and cry bitterly and yet turn around
and start laughing two minutes later at something they see as funny. Children
know instinctively how to react, they know when to laugh and when to cry. When
something is funny they will laugh aloud without inhibitions. It is we, the
adults, that put the restraints on them by trying to teach them
"proper" or "normal" behavior. Children learn by example so
maybe we could lighten a little - learn to enjoy and show them that Mams and
Dads like to laugh too.
I hope you enjoy the pages I have here which take some age old words and show the funnier side - the quirks of life. If you do enjoy them why not email them to a friend.
