Henry Ward Beecher
You ever meet anyone like this? I sure have and you know what the funny thing is? More often than not, I will change my behavior (i.e. stifle my sense of humor) to make humorless people feel comfortable. Is that ridiculous? Yes!
They say life hands you lessons until you master them, then you get new lessons. Well, facing people with no sense of humor has been the life lesson I have not mastered yet. Why do I feel I need to change to make other people feel comfortable? And I wonder why I feel totally drained when I am around humorless people. Hello!!
This year I an on a quest, a huge mission to not let anyone or any situation take away my light, my humor or happiness. My sense of humor sustains me, keeps me focused and happy! I love to laugh, to see the goofiness is EVERYTHING and feel the joy in everyday situations.
As the quote says, having a sense of humor is the "spring" of life. It will help you navigate the bumps, dips and potholes! AMEN!
