Humor

Interjecting smiles and giggles — even laughs– can brighten lives — yours and others you meet. I found that, when I’m approaching a sales clerk or a fellow customer, there are opportunities for some form of humorous exchange. It begins with eye contact. This brief connection sets the stage. Perhaps a brief smile is exchanged. A quick comment can follow, and from there other remarks can follow with possible fun quips. I had this little drama play out at a used book store recently. We exchanged some brief quips and even a laugh. When I left, I had a positive feeling which set my day on a high. Humor, don’t leave your mind without it.

Fear Shrinks Spirit

I wanted to doodle this saying after to the horrific killing in the middle east. The realization of the suffering and shock affected my emotional spirit deeply. Shaping the letters of each word, along with the colors shows what happened to me. Then I knew I had to reach out to the positive. This is what I always recommend.
