The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments flit away, and a sunny spirit takes their place. Unfortunately, too many adults have long forgotten the value of humor in making us more resilient in this age of constant change. Too many walk around looking like they are in pain all day. Leave room for laughter every day. Take your family and your work seriously, but take yourself and problems lightly.
Laughter is conta-gious, and so is cynicism.
You know the answer - people love to be around people who bring them joy. He was right. Using your sense of humor with family and colleagues is one of the best deposits you can put into your relationship deposit account. You can borrow on it when you handle problems, announce changes, or deal with any conflict. But not all humor works.
