I am a rather serious person.  Maybe it is because for most of my life I have been a rather cynical person.  It is hard to find humor when you feel so much negativity all the time.  Certainly, when my depression was at its worst, I found absolutely nothing amusing about life.


There is that cliche saying “Laughter is the best medicine”.  I had always discounted it, but now I see the truth in it.  Now that I have a more positive attitude, I am starting to see the humor in things all around me.  I laugh more.  Not just a polite little chuckle, but a full blown laugh.  The laughter itself feels good.  It lightens my load and boosts my positive attitude even more.  

If I can find something to laugh about then the bad days are not quite so bad anymore.  I have discovered that the more I laugh and find amusement in things, the more pleasant my family life is.  My husband and daughter laugh more as well.  There is less bickering and squabbles.  



I doubt I will ever have an award winning sense of humor.  It just does not come as naturally to me as it does other people.  For example, my brother can take the most mudane everyday happening and turn it into a whole stand up routine.  Or my daughter, who is quick to point out her humorous take on things, or tell a funny joke.  Shoot even my almost five year old niece has a better sense of humor than I do.  I think some where along the way my “funny bone” got “broken”.

How does one go about fixing a “broken funny bone”?  I have absolutely no idea!  However, I am going to put some effort into finding out.  


Yesterday, I found a funny blog to hang  out in.  WTIT: The Blog by Bud Weiser  he describes his blog as a “comedy blog”.  All I know is when I read it yesterday, I spent a good half an hour laughing.  I plan on going back there every day.  Maybe some of his humor will rub off on me.  If you decide to visit it, I must warn you that there is some explicit language used.  Explicit language and all, it certainly is worth visiting.
