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

Zen teaches that once we can open up to the inevitability of our demise, we can begin to transform that situation and lighten up about it.

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

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

Humor expands our limited picture frame and gets us to see more than just our problem.

The studies indicate that focusing our attention on someone else, takes our mind off of our own problems. We stay healthier and thereby live longer.

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.
