Wow! Another week has passed us by. I think time flies when so many things are going on.
This week’s challenge: Watch a movie in a genre you normally would never watch. For example, if you watch a lot of action/adventure movies, watch a comedy or tear jerker (Steel Magnolias is one example).
In the comments mention the movie you watched and what you thought of it. Did it suck or were you surprised by it?
Until next time…

This is how we work with Divine Spirit. We try to look at life and find the laughter wherever we can, whenever we can, because laughter is the healer.

Do you have sources for your laughter?
Here is my list:
TV Shows, Movies, and Cartoons:
Comedians:
Some memes my friends post online are also funny. If you haven’t been to this site, you ought to check it out. My sister turned me on to this one:
It is a very scary time for many people out there. The media isn’t helping. If you want to have a nervous breakdown, watch any 24-hour news station (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) and you’ll see how fast you become uncomfortable.
Have an outlet. Enjoy playing board games with your family. If you’re into online games, get a group together, and go at it. Some of my biggest laughs have come from playing Call of Duty with a bunch of strangers in Team Deathmatch or in the new Warzone. Some reactions are hilarious. TikTok is another superb source for quick laughs. There are quite a few comedians that put little bytes of their routines on this site and they are hilarious!
I know some of my readership is in the younger generations and you may not recognize some of the names or cartoons I reference, but you all have your favorite shows, guaranteed to cheer you up. Dig into these whenever you are getting stressed out. It’s a great way to lift your spirits and just laugh your head off.
badeep, badeep, badeep, that’s all folks! (Porky Pig, for those of you who don’t recognize this).
Have a great Saturday!
Until next time…

Posted in Funny Friday, Thankful Thursdays
I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday, so I missed my weekly Thankful Thursday, so today, I’m going to combine yesterday and today’s topics into one posting.
Daily Ramblings gained some new followers this week. Welcome and Thank you for following me. I really appreciate it. I’m also grateful for the success of my Mom’s cataract surgeries. She was nervous about getting it done and was concerned with her left eye, but this week’s doctor appointment confirmed that all is ok.
I wanted to touch on gratitude journaling again because it is such an important habit, at least for me. I started small, but now my gratitude journal has evolved to a combination of gratitude and morning pages. The practice I use now involves writing down what I am grateful for until I feel it. When I feel gratitude my heart opens. There is a calming that comes and sticks around for the day. This feeling is hard to describe. It is like everything is all right in my world. If you are interested in trying this out, I’d recommend starting with the 5-minute journal. I am not an affiliate, but a satisfied customer. I don’t use the app for this reason anymore. I have a tab in my OneNote app that I dedicate to my journaling.
Anyway. For this week’s funny Friday, I’ll recommend a comedian I really enjoy. His name is Bill Burr. I’ll warn you, he’s very edgy, but his humor aligns with mine in every way. I hope you enjoy him. He has a few comedy shows on Netflix right now. You should try him out, if you’ve never seen one. My sister and I saw him in Detroit last year, and he has one of the longest comedy shows I’ve ever seen. He was on stage around 2 hours, which is unheard of in this industry. Most are off stage in about an hour or so.
Well, that’s it for today, folks. I hope each of you has a wonderful weekend, filled with love, fun things, and some time with your families and loved ones.
Until next time…
Dave
