How it works...please post a question in the comments section of the blog (or send me an email if you'd like more anonymity). I'll post it with my advice. Take the advice, leave the advice, but don't let me tell you

Laugh out loud

When life is getting you down , and you feel like you're being "punk'd", it is important to have access to a good laugh. It sounds insane, but sometimes, I feel like when there is nothing you can do about your circumstances, the effervescence of a good laugh can offer a temporary lifeline.  Laughter can allow you to bubble out some of  that negativity inside and get it outside.  It can reset you from one manner of thinking and offer you an opportunity to start over to try a brighter approach.  Laughter is not a cure-all, it isn't always appropriate, and sometimes, it is downright impossible.  However, when it is available (and appropriate) it can offer a little reprieve from whatever storm you're weathering. 

I found this picture online this weekend, and I keep remembering it throughout my days. I don't know why I think this is so funny, but this image for some reason caused me to laugh out loud multiple times and send it to a number of friends.  Is it because I'm imagining giraffes going to a bar and over indulging?  Is it because I've been party to a situation where this type of thing has happened and it was really funny?  Is it because it's a pretty ridiculous notion overlaid on a silly photo?  I don't know, but I can't help but laugh when I see it, and that is why I am saving this image, along with a number of funny memories in my go to "funny file".  Life is ridiculous and laughter is free, so why not keep a file of things that make you laugh?

The image is from www.lolsnaps.com which I had never seen before this weekend and don't know much about so please don't hold me to any direct association with what is on their website.  Hope you are able to find something that tickles your funny bone and makes you laugh out loud today and throughout the week.
