"Humor is our way of defending ourselves from life's absurdities by thinkg absurdly about them."
*LEWIS MUMFORD*
There's almost nothing that can't be helped with a healthy dose of humor. We could rail in anger and frustration about our relationships, work, politics, or the world in general. But it's a lot more fun - and more useful - to laugh instead.
Taking life with a dose of humor can relieve stress, improve mood, help us cope with change, and put things into clearer perspective.
Instead of becoming annoyed today, I will look for the humor in whatever it is that is threatening to irritate me.
From "The Daily Book of Positive Quotations" By Linda Picone
