Laughter is Good

"A cheerful heart is good medicine," Proverbs 17:22

     With that verse in mind and an appreciation for a bit of humor, I thought I'd find some pictures that offer a humorous, yet true, glimpse of my life.  Perhaps you'll find a kindred spirit in some of my foibles (definition:  minor weakness or eccentricity in someone's character).

     This first picture of a bear at her computer is me - minus the curlers in the hair.  I never wear curlers in my hair!  Otherwise, it's a pretty accurate depiction of my mornings.

     When I saw this picture, I had to laugh!  I will confess to being guilty of this woman's cooking habits, in the fact that we both have no cooking habits since we rarely cook.  Actually, I do cook a nice meal about twice a month - and yes, that meal is made to last for two, or even three days.  But somehow, we manage not to go hungry -- as evidenced by our ample waistlines!

     I've always wanted to use this picture and never had an opportunity, so here it is and I think it's good for a chuckle.  We were in Spain in an obviously scenic area and I think it's funny that my sister and I are both trying to capture the view - me, with a very serious expression.  And note the man behind us waiting his turn.  Family and friends are well-aware of my propensity for taking pictures - after all, they ARE worth a thousand words!

    You must admit, this one is good for a laugh!  I love mugging for funny photo ops.  I call this one, "Giant Ant Attacks and Eats Frightened Woman," or you can make up your own caption.

    Loveland, Colorado is blessed with many bronze statues.  I love interacting with statues and this happy group of children invited me to join their fun walk across a log.  We all balanced and laughed together.  I was able to hop off the log after a moment, but those children are still in that same spot years later.  Guess you could call it a "frozen in time" situation.  They haven't aged, but oh my, I certainly have!!

     I will end with this picture taken at Virginia Beach - and no, I don't consider myself to be an angel by any stretch of the imagination.  I just like this picture and consider it a depiction of the impressive wing span of the angel who stands behind me -- protecting me as my Father has instructed him to do.  Such a thought makes me smile.  We are so blessed to belong to such a great God Who loves us in spite of our foibles (:  "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well," Psalm 139:14.
