Some times when I am playful,
trying to make light of danger,
I trip over my own nervous laughter
and end up wearing nothing
but a stupid grin,
a skinned knee,
a bruised ego,
with a dangling participle of a brain
looking for a place
to hide.

But I’ve found
‘tis better to laugh than to cry
when the world is flipping
me off
upside down.

Hello Kacy

I couldn't agree more.

Take care........Sue

I'm anchored in you

(smiles) I couldn't agree with you more, sweet friend, looking back on anything and laughing even in utmost embarrassment truly is medicine and holy water for the soul, yay, God Bless You, keep on playin' with soul, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yep, Kacy...if I don't laugh at things
sometimes, I will surely cry.
Hugs to you
