find some funny
Do you think we should find humor in everything? I think on the most challenging of days, laughing helps to keep us sane. As I did yoga online watching my friend, Karen, teach on the bow of a boat, she naturally lost her balance several times since the boat was rocking. (Who wouldn't?) And when it happened, she'd say, "Maintain your sense of humor." Now here is a professional yogi excellent at her craft, who offers classes, books, and videos, losing her balance in a pose! She smiled about it some and moved through it calmly as if the imbalance wasn't occurring.

As our world is currently unbalanced, so, too, must we maintain the humor. Although much of this is not a laughing matter, and CrAzY situations have ensued, we've all seen the jokes, cartoons, videos, poems, and new song lyrics being circulating across email, texts, and social media. Why? TO MAKE US LAUGH. To lighten it up, distract us, uplift us, and to remind us to keep the humor since every day is a balancing act.

What are some of your favorite jokes circulating about "it?" (See a few below in 'good to giggle.') Find some funny.

"I read your March 20th SNIPPETS - you really said a lot! We will survive all of this and come out stronger on the other side. I thank my parents for the faith they instilled in me to get through all of it."

"Great snips! Love your SNIPPETS! Our neighborhood had a Teddy Bear Hunt [pics below] - it was so cool. People placed teddy bears in their windows so kids and their parents could walk around looking for them. I have decided to keep ours up for the next month for everyone and added signs in the windows. Oh, and I put Xmas lights back up, too!"
~ Jeanie in Massachusetts
