Did you know...

I am so grateful that I have a sense of humor. I know that it is a gift.
(I didn't really know much about gratitude until I got sober. AA has taught me much about gratitude).
I know that Mom and Dad were responsible for fostering my sense of humor. Do you remember how Dad could lose his breath from laughing so hard? Usually at REALLY corny jokes that he told. I remember that Dad told me of an incident that occured sometime when he was young and in Switzerland maybe? he was at a restaurant with a couple of his buddies. I guess they were excited to be in another country (one that was not in the midst of a war) and they were having Aquavit. Something one of them said struck everyone as the funniest thing that they had ever heard and they laughed uncontrollably (beet red faces, tears and snot laughing) for several minutes. He told me that story twice on different occasions so it must have really had an impact. He said they were not high, it was just one of those things. He loved to laugh.
I don't think he had the opportunity to laugh like that much as a young man.
Laquita and I can laugh like that sometimes. My friend Craigie and I can too. Laughter is really wonderful medicine.
Here are some things that have made me laught out loud lately:
An episode of Family Guy
Talking on the phone with Craigie (somethin to do with bathroom humor)
The YouTube video of a little dog in a blue sweater named Chester walking on his front legs while peeing on a curb - LOLOLOL
My little rescued parakeets PeeTee and Borris, they are so funny as they learn how to do normal bird stuff without fear. When PeeTee first flew from the top of one window to another he just started shreeking and doing the head bob victory dance!
Sybil....she makes me laugh and smile each and every day with her little old lady kitty cat ways.
More later.......
