You may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.

There are no language barriers when you are smiling.

When we can find some humor in our upsets, they no longer seem as large or as important as they once did.

Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.

No matter what has happened, you too have the power to enjoy yourself.
