Laughter And The Divine: What Happens To Laugher Over The Year As We Grow
"Laughter is one of the most divine experiences,
but very few people really laugh.
Their laughter is shallow.
Either it is just intellectual or just a facade or just a formality or just a mannerism,
but it is never total.
If a person can laugh totally, wholeheartedly,
not holding anything back at all,
in that very moment, something tremendous can happen -
because laughter, when it is total,
is absolutely egoless
and that is the only condition
in which to know god, to be egoless.
There are many ways to be egoless
but laughter is the most beautiful way.
Laughter needs no talent.
In fact children laugh more beautifully more totally.
As they grow up, their laughter becomes shallow;
they start holding back,
they start thinking whether to laugh or not to laugh,
or whether it is right in this situation to laugh.
Learn the laughter of small children again
laugh consciously and totally -
and not only at others, at yourself too.
One should never miss an opportunity to laugh.
Laughter is prayer. "

Funny Thing About Getting Older - Finding that Age Has Its Own Humor
Getting Older
Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
* I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.
* My wild oats have turned to prunes and All Bran.
* I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.
* Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
* If all is not lost, where is it?
* It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
* Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant.
* I wish the buck stopped here, I could use a few.
* Kids in the back seat cause accidents; accidents in the back seat cause kids.
* It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
* Only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom.
* If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.
* When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?
* It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere!
* The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Keep laughing and don't worry about the number...it's the experience that counts!

Lighten Up at Work: Tips To Find Humor
1. Attitude is everything. In order to lighten up at work you have to expect that it will happen. People sometimes need to allow change to unfold naturally. Keep a clown nose handy to break the ice. Wear it for the next meeting, in the elevator or when walking down the hall.
2. Be spontaneous. Laugh out loud several times a day. Find out what others think is funny and work with the humor people have naturally. Be in good taste. Create a task force to think of ways to lighten up in your office or company. Change your mission statement to include a fun atmosphere.
3. An office that plays together stays together. Have designated breakfast or lunches with a gong show, charades, or any other team event to incorporate a fun activity. Create relays or an obstacle course in the office with items routinely used in your business.
4. Transform areas in the office to enhance the mood you are trying to attain at work. A bulletin board can be easily changed into a baby picture board, joke of the day, funny ads or signs. Keep a “fun” journal or scrapbook. Use your imagination.
5. Create a fun room, corner of the office or an extra desk. Use colors that will stimulate creativity. Include a “fun chest” in the area and fill it with props and costumes. Allow people to play to release stress so they are more productive at work. Even Groucho Marx got some work done around the office.
6. Mark the calendar for fun days like April Fool’s Day, Ground Hog’s Day and Halloween. Create your own monthly or weekly fun days. Pick a “queen/king for a day” with crown and cape and a special chair. Answer each request with “As you wish”. Initiate hat days, ugly tie days, etc. Wear different colored socks. Instead of dress down days, dress up or dress backwards! Be creative!
7. Perform Random Acts of FunninessTM . Think of ways to use your own talents in the workplace to stimulate camaraderie and fun at the same time. Have a standing ovation for people who do mundane things in the office, even the ones who come it late. Clap and sing for birthdays around their desks like they do in restaurants. If all else fails, the whoopee cushion or laughing box always gets a laugh!
Spread the Joy!
