Giving Thanks #19...A Sense of Humor

I freely admit, without my sense of humor, I would not be where I am at today.  I am not saying that I have the best sense of humor (that is simply implied).  But I have the sense of humor that will allow me to laugh at myself  and when necessary others.  Sometimes, it is just a good laugh that will let you get through some of the more trying situations.  Also, I love a good laugh-a-thon with friends and/or family.  One of those times when you laugh so hard your side aches for the next three days.  Those are some of the best remembered and fondest memories I have.  Additionally, I think it is important that we don't take ourselves too serious.  Don't get me wrong, there is a time and place to be serious, but there is also a time and a place to just sit back and laugh at ourselves.  Before this post gets too redundant and boring, I will wrap it up now and end with a simple Clinton Painter-ism:  "If you are not having fun, you are not doing it right."
