My great hope
is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and
have the courage to accept love in return.
[Maya Angelou]
My great hope is to laugh way more than I cry. To DO
something each day that makes a difference. And to love with an open heart.
Sometimes there may BE love in
return, but I will choose to love anyway.
But when you're
in front of an audience and you make them laugh at a new idea, you're guiding
the whole being for the moment. No one is ever more him/herself than when they
really laugh. Their defenses are down. It's very Zen-like, that moment. They
are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and
the laugh begins. That's when new ideas can be implanted. If a new idea slips
in at that moment, it has a chance to grow.
[George Carlin, Last
Words]
Years ago I saw George Carlin. I was sick and I went anyway.
I felt horrible, but he just kept making me laugh. Laughing times seem to stand
taller than the others I remember.
There's nothing
more contagious than the laughter of young children; it doesn't even have to
matter what they're laughing about. [Criss Jami]
Giggling along…
I love you, Currie

Love the Maya quote!! I had the same experience with George Carlin. I was having some sort of allergic reaction but went to see him anyway and was miserable but loved his show.
Oh, I would have loved to see George Carlin in person!! He had such a mind! And could always make you laugh at the absurdity of us human beings. I would have gone sick, too!! ;)
