My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...

In the three years of having this blog, one of the main things it has revealed to me is the humor in both my life and my humanness.
Often, when sharing a post about a particular experience that may have been frustrating, annoying or madding, by writing it out, has enabled me to not only look back and discover the humor in the experience, but more so the humor in myself for taking myself so seriously in the first place.
Often too, when sharing an experience about something that may have been sad, painful or difficult, it has enabled me to look back and discover the lessons learned.
Have you ever noticed how when something happens to you that may be an uncomfortable situation, you’ll suddenly start laughing; finding it totally inappropriate because you think it’s wrong to laugh?
Or, have you ever noticed how when sometimes during a heated argument with someone, the two of you will suddenly start laughing?
I believe it's because laughter is medicine, which comes to our aid when we need to lighten up; finding the humor. Because humor is healing.
Now, I’m not saying we should never acknowledge our angers, frustrations and annoyances. Nor, our sadness, pains and fears, because I truly think it is healthy to accept, embrace and express how we feel.
However, when these emotions peak to a crescendo, there comes a time when humor is needed.
I’ve always discovered that humor gives way to any challenging situation, by removing me from the challenge; giving clarity to the bigger picture.
Whenever I feel overly angry, sad, or fearful, I will often watch reruns of one of my all-time favorite TV shows, I Love Lucy. And before I know it, I’m laughing; feeling so much better, and so much lighter.
Yes, life is not always easy. In fact, sometimes life can be downright tough. A bitch at times.
And trust me, I’ve been through it. Like I know many of you have.
But whenever life gets this way, I know it’s time to laugh.
I would like to share a short animated video that was created by the amazing Israeli artist, Eran Hilleli, which I discovered last week on one of my longtime favorite blogs, Dooce.
Which by the way, made me LAUGH MY ASS OFF.
(especially after watching it three times in a row)
So, enjoy these three and half seconds about life's ironies. And its humor….
