Monday I lost seven pounds
Tuesday I found them
Source Of All Blessings
You bless us
With humor – ours and others’.
Laughter at ourselves, our predicaments,
Our foibles.
Laughter at our situation, its dangers,
Its ludicrousness,
With guffaws, chuckles, winces
We physically relax and let go.
Our worries of the moment
For a moment
Are replaced with re-connection
to the human joy
of life.
Thank you for the gift of humor.
May we laugh in difficult times,
at difficult times,
and at my bad jokes.*
*Thanks to Br. David Steindl-Rast for the inspiration and the format for this, from his wonderful book, 99 Blessings.
