Outside Reading #8

For the last post of the quarter, I decided to read something out of the ordinary, my mom's book "A Grateful Heart". She takes it out on special meals, like Thanksgiving, and reads a blessing out of this book. We multiple religions at the table, and this book's prayers fit into most all religions. I picked the simple blessing, "Give me a sense of humor, / Give me a grace to see a joke, / To get some pleasure out of life / And pass it on to other folk" - Anonymous
This poem makes me wonder how life would be without humor. Everything would be taken too seriously, and everyone would be on the defensive side of peoples comments. Everyone would be stressed and unfriendly because humor and laughing relaxes your body, and when you are relaxed you have a good time.
