Children remind us to treasure the smallest of gifts, even in the most difficult times.

When we are dealing with death we are constantly being dragged down by the event: Humor diverts our attention and lifts our sagging spirits.

When times get tough, at some point, people instinctively know they need to lighten up in order to get through it.

Today's business and health care climate may not be pleasant. Cutbacks, pay cuts and layoffs do not make anyone's job easy. But that does not mean that the humor need stop.

Humor can help you cope with the unbearable so that you can stay on the bright side of things until the bright side actually comes along.

Laughter, and the broader category of humor, are key elements in helping us go on with our life after a loss.

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