Brenda and I use to play practical jokes on each other. that was fun to 
do. Back when we smoked, I put celery seeds in her cigarette, and once 
hooked up a bucket of water to a string above the entry door, 
unfortunately when she opened the door, having been a little leary of our 
jokery fascination at the time, she heard something when she opened the 
door and quick stopped and only got a little wet... darn it anyhow lol. 
Sounds like Mike has to be on his toes with you around Carol hahaha. All 
in good fun though that's cool.

Find me something to laugh at Brad.  It's a bit bleak here right now.  I 
played a couple of little pranks on Mike last night.  The fun lasted just 
a few mins but was good.

They've done studies on folks with depression issues. They made them smile 
20 minutes a day. No matter what they felt like, they just hold their head 
up high, look to the ceiling and smile big for twenty minutes.
And they found it made a difference in their condition. So if you get 
feeling poorly? Just go about your business and tighten those cheek 
muscles and smile big for a while and see if you don't feel better haha. 
Not too much mischief now Carol, we don't want to be reading about you in 
the news papers hahaha.

Yep, I need to be less serious right now and find things to make fun, even 
a little mischief!  <Grins>

I have been thinking on these Scriptures lately Brad so thanks for the 
reminder.

Carol,

Glad to put a smile on your face. Sometimes I can tend to get a bit 
serious but even in times of seriousness or being on the outs with my wife 
over something, making a joke or light of something right out of the blue 
or even if you don't feel it is appropriate at the time can prove to be a 
great way to break the coldness or seriousness. The below scriptures I 
really love...

Prov 15:13
13 A joyful heart makes a cheerful face,
But when the heart is sad, the spirit is broken


Prov 17:22-23
22 A joyful heart is good medicine,
But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Next time you are in a mood or just not on top of your game in life or 
perhaps someone else is having a rough go of it that day, do something 
funny or zany and see what happens. You could reach over and twist 
someone's nose and make a horn sound and smile, do the old trick by 
pointing to their shirt/chest and say what's that, and when they look down 
you flick their nose haha, sometimes if my wife and I are having a bit of 
a disagreement? I'll wait for time to pass without us talking and if she's 
in the kitchen let's say? I'll walk in from the other room like I'm on a 
mission to do something else, reach over and give her the dip of a 
lifetime and a peck ta boot hahaha. That will usually get her smiling and 
hearts changed. I haven't a clue why I went into all that, but I did 
hahaha. That in itself isn't joy, but it leads to a merry heart and 
changes the mindset and also the mood of the heart.

Brad
