We have been living through a very challenging emergency the last several months. It’s been a health crisis that has left many people in both physical and emotional despair.  We’ve all heard the expression, “This is not a laughing matter.”

 

That statement usually indicates that there’s a problem. We all know that serious events and emergencies occur from time to time. We’re seeing that right now, aren’t we? Emergencies need to be handled accordingly. Serious circumstances call for serious responses.  How about when there are not serious circumstances? Some people still behave in a “This is not a laughing matter” mode. Don’t we all know people who go through life this way? They seem to be in a crisis all the time - no matter what is going on in their lives. They’ve got it all wrong. They’re missing the joy in life. They should be smiling, laughing, and having more fun…Even now. Maybe especially now! We need the ability to find more laughter in our lives.
