9/28

Today I'd like to give a shout out to my quirky sense of humor. Sometimes it's gotten me into trouble, and more than once I've had to explain my inside jokes to those who weren't really inside. But it's kind of nice to see things differently, to have a way of lightening up a bad mood or a bad day.

My mother's wit was very dry, and I inherited it from her. Both of my kids have my sarcastic sense of humor, much to Ed's dismay. But being able to laugh during the tough times has helped us through those tough times.

I've seen a lot of home decor signs and bumper stickers that could fit me to a T: I laughed so hard the tears are running down my leg. But they are only good tears, the only kind I like, the kind that come from having a quirky sense of humor.
