Laughter


I was straightening up my desk a bit before leaving work this afternoon.  As I sorted through the stack of paper scraps where I have written down inspirational sayings and Bible verses to help me through my day, I came across one that made me smile...not an easy thing to do these days as layoff preparations are at the forefront of everyone's mind.

It's from a little book called "Everyday Hope" by Debora M. Coty and it goes like this:

"Laughter is to hope as nonstick cooking spray is to a shiny new muffin tin: It keeps the goo from sticking."

Somedays, it feels like we are drowning in goo.  So three cheers for those moments of laughter that keep hope alive!  May they remind us that there is life beyond the goo!
