Sense of humor and how important it is

I read an article on Iltasanomat today about a british woman who had suffered from migraines all her life. One night she went to bed after having a migraine only to wake up with a french accent! She said that she had to quit her job in sales because it was hard speaking with the accent and that she feels like she has lost a part of herself. According to the article she has also lost few words, such as a, of and to. But she did say that even though she lost her personality, identity and her own voice, she still has her sense of humor! BAM! There you go french people, no sense of humor...or so I would read it! ;-)

It is very important quality to have...even if other people wouldn't understand your humor, as long as you can find things to laugh about, you're golden. It is not always easy though. Being miles, hours and hundreds of dollars/euros away from your loved one(s), what is there to laugh about? No job and no money equals tough times. It's not easy to feel good about yourself when you don;t get that outside validation...staying home with nothing but job hunting to do gets daunting, boring, exhausting. Doing that for a year and a half...you try it. I don't recommend it. Where is that one letter, e-mail or phone call that will say YES, we will be happy to have you?

So I try to laugh... I laughed when I talked to Tiffany about baby names (her sister-in-laws brother's wife is having a baby today, the family whose kids I took care of for a while this year) and I asked her if she knew what the name was gonna be...she replied "it's gonna be a zoo". Of course that wasn't the answer to my question but for a second it seemed like it was. That made me laugh...and was told only me can come up with that!

I laughed when I saw this picture



It's a bear in a ZOO in Finland doing yoga! How cute is that? And funny? Maybe I should try it and see if it would help with my back? I was supposed to stretch whenever Bailey stretches but since I don't see Bailey every day anymore, I don't know exactly when she's stretching...Wasn't working even when I was but it was a good thought.

I laughed when I was going through job postings and saw that a bishop in Lapua was looking for a secretary. I asked my mom and Ybi if I should apply and they answered at the same time:YES! It was all joke of course...I don't think religious organizations would want to hire me...nor would I want to work for them so I guess we are even!

I also laughed when I read that Togo played a friendly against Bahrain last week...but it wasn't really Togo! How is it possible in this day and age with internet galore to not know which team you are playing and whether they are legit or no? As the president of the Togolese Football federation, when the international friendly list was published, didn't you pay attention to the part where Togo was mentioned to be playing in Bahrain? Maybe this should be used as an excuse for Finnish football too...it was NOT team Finland playing in Moldova and we don;t know who those players were. Ebven though it said "Litmanen" on number 10's back, I don't think it was him... and number 4, supposedly Hyypiä, was not him either...and as such shouldn't have been given a 1 game ban! So there, I solved it. The team representing Finland in the Euro qualifications really isn't Finland!

Maybe I will post more things to laugh about later on...maybe I won't. Later
