The best way to do that is to keep your state of mind green and golden: find, recycle, or produce joy wherever and however you can. A good humorist is a work of heart! The Hasidic Jews believe that the best way to worship God is by being happy. They even incorporate dance and celebration into their spiritual walk. Humor is the chocolate chips in the ice cream of life. Remember the old-time "Good Humor Man" who drove his ice cream truck down every street in the neighborhood, chiming a jingle on those hot summer days? All the kids came running as soon as they heard the sound. But good humor doesn't drive down many streets anymore. You have to go out and get it yourself. Fortunately, it's not that hard to find. -- Barbara Johnson --------------------------- -- Ecclesiastes 3:4 (NLT) "A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance." -- Psalms 9:1,2 (NIVUS) "I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High." -- Psalms 70:4 (RSV) "May all who seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee!
