This season, I'm appreciating being
from a fun AND funny family. Mom seems to be the ringleader: our
history is filled with stories of her antics. One is that after she
caught my older brother and sister playing with an unauthorized water
balloon, she demanded they give her the balloon. They tossed it at
her, she caught it and ended up swinging it around her head before
launching it at them. Of course they got wet. And of course this was
done in the front yard for all the neighbors to see.
Since beginning a great new job,
continuing with my caretaker job at a ranch and other commitments,
it's been easy for me to get overwhelmed. Happily, I've discovered
that laughter is the best remedy.

the turkey table, excuse yourself and check out my favorite funny/fun
Internet distractions.

the Mayo
Clinic on why laughter feels so good.
