Humor is a reminder
that no matter how high the throne one sits on,
one sits on one's bottom.

My sincere thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's post! I really appreciate everyone's input and advice. And thanks to my dear Mr. C's love of technology, I am now using Firefox and will be back to visiting everyone regularly again soon.
I think I was overcome by an attack of giddiness yesterday (and, today, too - I think). When I was e-mailing, using my Yahoo e-mail account, I discovered the emoticons and used them for the first time.
Since I started blogging, I've found myself using smiley faces and exclamation points rather frequently, something I never used to do. :0) I've been trying to quit, but allowed myself to be briefly tempted by those incredibly cute yellow faces. To anyone who received an emoticon-laced e-mail yesterday, I'm truly sorry. :0)
I think it has something to do with the fact that, when I speak, I tend to use my hands (a lot!), as well as a good number of facial expressions, along with my words. I've been told I'd be a very effective actress.

Humor is the great thing, the saving thing.
The minute it crops up,
all our irritation and resentments slip away,
and a sunny spirit takes their place.
~ Mark Twain

It's funny how life is sometimes. I even found some humor of sorts in our own garden. If you take a close look at the photo below (click on it, if you'd like to enlarge the photo), you can see what looks like spit. It is, in fact, something called a Spittlebug.
This frothy residue is left on plants by this cute little guy:
If you feel inclined to learn more about the amazing Spittlebug, there is probably more than you ever wish to know here.
I find that in times of stress, turmoil, upheaval, or just plain every day, a touch of humor lightens my heart and shines a light in my soul. I hope you find a bit of impishness, a bit of humor, in your day today!

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing,
moving at different speeds.
A sense of humor is just common sense,
dancing.
~ William James
