I’m spinning off Jeanine Byers post about humor.
After working for many years in corporate America, I thought I had lost my sense of humor. You know what a stressful job is like. On time and within budget can be a life-changing event if you miss it.
My remedy for that was going to clown school. Yes, there is such a thing. At the time, one was at the University of Wisconsin in La Croix. My stomach hurt when I got home, and I was exhausted.
Rosie the Clown was born there. Her birthing costume was sewn before she arrived. The experience was priceless. Multiply the ways to get a person to giggle.
For instance, when you see someone in the super market running the wheelchair, ask when and where did they get a license to do that. Or if they needed a license. Check out the expression on the persons face first, they may not be in the mood for your humor. I have rarely had a bad, sad response.

STARS
"Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious." Stephen Hawking Jerry is so curious he took a second degree in Astro Physics at 54. He loves it! There is nothing quite...
Fear
Thinking will not overcome fear but action will. W. Clement Stone Fear has been the topic of conversation today – as I’ve discussed shared spaces with potential clients. Having a private office space to use for a month, a week or a day seems to rattle some small...
Not By Bread Alone
"Life is either a grand adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller I can’t imagine what it must have been like for her to be blind and deaf. We saw a theatre production a few years back titled, “Not by Bread Alone”. It was written and directed by Adina Tal...
