I love to start my day with laughter, which often comes in the form of little video clips.

I so admire crazies. The freedom to act like a fool. Aren’t we lucky?

…
I had to laugh because it’s true. Last night we cut down the cardboard boxes, because Monday is trash collection in our area.
… This little girl and her partner in crime had me in stitches. This is going to be a good day. I got my morning laugh and will be smiling…
… My favorite calls from potential new customers: “Can you fix this, please?” My standard answer: “I am not a magician.” Followed by the question: “Is the dog still alive?”

…
I heard the same warning when I was a child. Watching too much “Bonanza” or “Star Trek” would make my eyes fall out. A warning, given at a time when we only watched TV at night, perhaps for an hour or two.
Oh, the tales we hear when we are children.

When I was feeling down recently,
And I seriously wondered
Whether all over the planet,
People feel the same.
Most of us here in the US have never heard of Reem Sahwil and I want her to meet you, that’s why I am writing this post. In 2015, a 14-year-old Palestinian refugee in Germany burst into tears in front of the camera, midway through an encounter with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, as she begged Merkel to spare her family from deportation.
