We all need a sense of humour

Today's Quote.... A person without a sense of humour is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.
                                                                                           Henry Ward Beecher

So many things we do in life are more pleasant due to a sense of humour. At work we often say we couldn't do our job without a sense of humour and I am sure it is this way in a lot of work places. Often when I have been through a stressful situation with others I will bring up something funny that was observed, I can usually find something, and this relieves some of the tension. In dealing with my mother who dealt with depression and anxiety I would often make her laugh in situations and her response was usually "Oh Marlene" When dealing with her dementia near the end of her life my family members and I would often have to laugh at some of the situations, as, if you only saw the sadness of the situation it was much harder to deal with.
Having a sense of humour is so important. Look for things in your day that you can have a private giggle about or if there are people around share it with them so the happiness can get spread around.
