How are your bones feeling today? Do they need to be tickled?
I once believed that happiness was an elusive emotion that only lucky people, who had never experienced any type of pain, were able to enjoy. Of course, that was when I was young and ignorant of real life. Now that I've had to endure a few maturity molding experiences, I realize that everyone can feel happiness, if they desire.
A sense of humor can help to make a bad situation turn around for good. It's really is all about how we look at things. In Proverbs 17:22, King Solomon states that "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones."
It's really up to each of us to cultivate joy in our souls, hearts, and minds, and to pass it along to others. Happiness needs to be shared. I don't mean that one should brag of their successes or, to boast of their material possessions but, rather to share the joys of what we have in common. The things that make us smile and laugh.
I want to leave you with a poem that Julie Andrews, (from the Sound of Music) a singer and actress wrote. She wrote a lot of neat poems and I'd like to share this one with you. I hope it makes you smile.
Missing
I've lost my sense of humor,
It fell into a well.
That's full of dark self-pity,
As far as I can tell.
I'm glared at by the children.
I'm yelled at by the boss
And every little word I say
Makes everybody cross.
I'd run away and not come back
It it would do some good.
But nobody would notice
So I don't think I should.
I miss my sense of humor
And if, by chance, you see
It peeking round a corner
Please send it back to me.
