How can we make the world a better place?
Smile
Smile A LOT…. Search for things to smile about. There are so many things here on earth to smile about. People are very funny creatures; they do funny things, even without knowing that they are doing anything. When you are looking for funny things, you have a tendency not to seek out the miserable things here on your planet, you are not miserable. If you are constantly thinking about bad things, you are acknowledging the good things, and therefore are suddenly aware of a completely different part of life. YOU ARE FUNNY, laugh hard at yourself, tell stories about to make others laugh at you. Life is too serious these days.
There have been times in my life that were shattering, and hard to understand, and overwhelming, times that my soul was shaken and I couldn’t remember how to smile. I remember after Jake died, how I felt I felt cold and dead, and dead people can’t smile, but I wasn’t dead, I was heart broken, and the more I smiled, the more I came back to life.
Bad things have happened to everyone, death, divorce, disappointment, and disgrace, the only way to beat it is to smile.
LAUGH IN THE FACE OF LIFE, AND SHE WILL LAUGH WITH YOU, NOT AT YOU ANYMORE!

One of my favorite lines from an old song by Boz Skaggs.
“Learned to laugh at myself and caught you laughing too”
Ever notice how you caught yourself doing something stupid, laughed at yourself, looked across the room and caught someone laughing with you. It always turned out you had made a friend.
