And, we're off to a new week. The weekend was bad enough, now we need to cope with working and trauma all at the same time. Thank goodness for a sense of humor. We all (mostly) remember where we were in many historical moments in our lives: JFK assassination, Space Shuttle Explosion, 9/11. I expect we will all remember yesterday throughout our life times. It was an event that has already changed our lives, but we don't know (yet) how it has changed our lives. We won't know that for several years to come. One thing I remember about 9/11; we were no longer sure about when it was okay for us to laugh (again). It was a terrible time in all of our lives, A tragedy. I remember months after the tragedy, and Ellen was hosting an awards show. A lesbian in a tuxedo. It (she) made us laugh. Cautiously at first, but then we remembered how good it made us feel, and we laughed.I took several opportunities to laugh today, all through the day. During work, at dinner, and then after dinner talking with a friend. Whatever you do, don't forget to laugh. You have not forgotten what happened, it is just something to put in perspective. If we forget how to laugh, then they win.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, LAUGH, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
