From Hope for Today, April 6:
“I also used humor as a manipulative tool to get people to like me. …My sense of humor wasn’t spontaneous or appropriate. I used it to please people. When no one was around to please, however, I was miserable…
Today my sense of humor is a natural reflection of who I am. I experience the world through smiles and laughter rather than through bitter smirks. I share joy with others rather than seek company for my misery. I help others heal rather than attack them. I allow my sense of humor to unfold naturally, just the way it was meant, and I watch the wonderful results as my Higher Power works through me toward a higher good.”
Thanks! A sense of humor often serves to make life easier to digest…
It beats being sad! It’s all a matter of perspective and where I choose to place my thoughts. When I try to be positive, my heart follows.
