Common Mom

I’ve been blogging for a few months now and have made lots of internet friends and found some blogs that make me cry, make me think, and make me laugh. I thought the following quote from a book my mother gave me . . . Witty Words from Wise Women by B.J. Gallagher . . . was right on.

Women say the darndest things! Women are smart; women are insightful; women are introspective; women are observant; women are sensitive; and, often, women are very funny.
     “If I didn’t laugh, I’d cry,” we sometimes say. We laugh at the crazy predicaments we get ourselves into, and the crazy people in our lives, especially our families. Humor is one of our most valuable assets in life, helping us get through difficult situations without killing ourselves . . . or anyone else.
     The ability to laugh at ourselves is the best kind of humor. It helps us see things in the proper perspective, and it keeps us from taking ourselves too seriously. as Elsa Maxwell encourages us: “Laugh at yourself first, before anyone else can.”
