Inspirational Humor

Life can be so much more enjoyable with humor in it.  Humor lightens our hearts and helps us see things from a different perspective.

I believe it was Carl Jung who said that you could learn a lot about yourself by seeing what your favorite jokes are.  By asking ourselves what kind of humor we find funny and reflecting on how that affects how we are in life can be very insightful. 

Inspirational humor can open our minds and our hearts while showing us how to look at our humanity in ways we may not have thought of before. 


One Christmas my very perceptive daughter, Debbie, gave each of us humorous posters that seemed to fit us perfectly.  The one she gave her very serious sister was a poster by Elbert Hubbard that read, “Don’t take life to seriously, you will never get out alive.”  


At times we all take life too seriously and humor helps lighten the burden.  The following quotes are my favorite inspirational humor quotes that have helped me reflect but not take life too seriously.  I do hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

Love and Peace,
Mary

God, so far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, and I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy, nasty or selfish, and I’m really glad of that! But in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get out of bed, and from then on, I’m probably going to need a lot of help. Thank you! Amen

My doctor took one look at 
my gut and refused to believe that 
I work out.   So I listed the exercises 
I do every day:  Jump to conclusions, climb the walls, drag my heels, 
push my luck, make mountains out of molehills, bend over backward, run around in circles, put my foot 
in my mouth, go over the edge, and beat around the bush.
___Unknown
