“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.” ~~ Bill Cosby
Dr. Cosby hits the nail on the head here. Often in life it comes down to two very basic choices–laugh or cry. Very rarely do I choose tears.
My family as a whole has ofen been accused of having a gallows sense of humor. We find the funny view of most situations. I prefer to think of us as survivors who choose the healing power of laughter.
Crying has its place. Our body needs to release toxins and pent up hormones and chemicals, but once things are cleaned out, laugh! Once you’ve found the humor, you’re well on the way to finding the way out of the misery.
