Yes, I have always said humor is everything. Not only is it a great physical release to laugh but it relieves mental and emotional tension as well. Those with a well developed sense of humor tend to be, not only of higher intelligence but also more resilient.
I have been in a funk this year after many years of peace and stability and happiness and make it a point to seek out humor and find something to laugh about.
I miss some of my great laughter riddled moments of the past.
My daughter has inherited my sense of humor and we can get ourselves into bed wetting, tear streaming convulsions over the most inane stuff.
Awhile back she called me when she was going through some stress and her opening line on the phone was ” Sooo, mom, I think it’s time we put the cats in the trunk and drive off a cliff.” lol
We then went on for about 5 minutes about all the precautions we needed to take to make sure our cliff diving was successful. haha
Our improv was great, back and forth, back and forth, effortlessly with perfect timing and wit. ” But wait…we should go for a bridge instead of a cliff and to make sure we don’t suffer while drowning we should duct tape samurai swords to the dash, just in case the airbags deploy and fail to suffocate us first. lol
