Though a dear old friend loves this blog, he recently chided me for all the heavy seriousness I've been throwing down. I never meant to leave that impression, but I appreciate his comments. I never know how I'm coming off, or sounding to you, unless you give me some feedback. Here I thought I was balencing some of the less pleasant realities I observe, with being inspirational.
My friend, however, wants more laughter in his life, and hey! I'm all for that!!!
Mystically, he even caused me to remember that I AM a Certified LaughterYoga Leader.
Il's comment read:
"..........But all in all, it was a nice piece and I enjoyed reading it... even though I was left with several different directions I could go in at the same time! Hey, what happened to laughing at shit!!?? Are you still in that mode, or have you gone on to more serious endeavors! I want to, personally, laugh because sometimes that's all you really can do.
Hey, don't get your seat at the table? Laugh. Uncontrollable bombings and murder around the world? Laugh. Strange goings-on in upper levels of government? Laugh.
Look, if you're not going to kill yourself trying to save all the worlds ills, the best you can do is try to be happy with what you can do (and laugh about) from your own personal corner of the universe.
Keep up the great inspirational work lovely lady. You've got my vote."
Well if that wasn't enough of a wake-call, today I received the notice below from another close friend.
So okay, ya'll.....I get it.
Lighten up Kentke!!!
I will work harder to keep you smiling, seriously informed, and tickled silly.
Thanks for the reminding me that we do our best work when we're happy, laughing and joyfully engaged.
Here's Aaliyah's notice to 'inaugurate' this year of triumphant festivities.

FYI -
Did you hear the one about PBS airing a comedy series? It’s no joke, but it
is funny.
In January 2009, PBS will present the series MAKE ’EM LAUGH: The Funny
Business of America, a six-hour comedy epic showcasing the most hilarious men,
women, and moments in American entertainment and why they made us laugh.
If you're interested in watching or recording, this is the site:
