LAUGHTER IS AN INSTANT VACATION

Artist: Arthur Schatz

It’s that post-holiday week and we could all use as many unexpected and spontaneous laughs as possible. Recently, the MUSEologies studio received an e-mail from SimpleTruths.com which states that a recent health study determined that there are 3 primary reasons people can’t cope in life:

1. They live in the past
2. They have low self-esteem
3. They don’t laugh enough

In fact, the same study concludes that we need a minimum of 12 laughs per day just to stay healthy! So, with that being said, here are a few quotes that may make you LAUGH RIGHT OUT LOUD! Go ahead. Throw your wonderful head back and laugh. Grin from ear to ear. Smile so wide all your teeth show. What have you got to lose!

Insanity doesn’t run in my family. It gallops.
-Cary Grant-

If you look like your passport photo, you’re too ill to travel.
-Will Kommen-

Inside me there’s a thin person struggling to get out,
but I can usually sedate him with 4 or 5 cupcakes.
-Bob Thaves-

I hate housework!

You make the beds, you do the dishes

and six months later you have to start all over again.
-Joan Rivers-

Misers aren’t fun to live with, but they make wonderful ancestors.
-David Brenner-

THANK YOU !

to the brilliant, talented and inspired Jill Badonsky for her newest gift to the world,

THE AWE-MANAC A Daily Dose of Wonder.

On Page -1-, she welcomes the reader to ‘come-in’ and realize that,

“Wonder can only be found in the present moment. The gentle breeze drawing together your fractured attention, the scent of cloves stealing you from worry, the sound of the waves reminding you that to be alive is something to believe in - those are the gifts of the present.

We can live with wonder if we have or are open to the ability to recognize the deep pleasure possible in a simple moment. But this ability is a skill like any other – it may take time and practice. We are impatient, we want to apply life-changing concepts to banish our challenges immediately. When the change is not sustained after the enthusiasm dies down, we often just give up instead of rinse and repeat. This book will teach you to forge on in trust, to practice the concepts over and over, a little at a time, imperfectly, until your mind effortlessly chooses the thought that exalts you existence rather than one that darkens it.

Give yourself permission to play, to stay true to yourself, to make compassion a hobby. The non-linear practice of moving forward two tiny steps and sideways one stumble is okay. In the long run, this will get you further than the other schemes that 85 percent of us give up on because we didn’t do it perfectly or because it was too much too soon.”
