The Healing Power of Nature

There is nothing that calms my spirit and fills me with joy and peace more than observing the natural world in all its wonder and beauty. When I stand in the solitude of a moonlight night or watch the sun set on the sea or a monarch butterfly quietly land on a flower I am filled with the peace and wonder only nature can provide. It also gives my spirit a sense of continuity and mystery along with the feeling that there is so much more beyond the horizon than we can ever imagine.

I kept telling this to my Dad but he just couldn't do it...

In the last ten years of his life my Dad lived in the past. Every question he asked was an opportunity to share stories from his past.

Thoughts On Humor Therapy

For the next few weeks I'm going to share thoughts and insights from my huge collection on the therapeutic nature of humor,laughter and fun.

As many of you know,my mission in life is to humorize the world so we can all live the lives we were meant to live. So here are a few thoughts to stimulate your JOY JUICES. Mike

* Life may not be all fun and games, but a huge part of it should be.

* Humor and laughter allow you to enjoy life to the max and feel fully alive.

* Pain in life may be inevitable but misery is optional. Barbara Johnson

* Humor helps pile sandbags of wit against a flood of misfortune.

* Humor is another of the soul's weapons in the fight for self preservation. Victor Frankl

The Quest for Happiness

Hi. Here is a quote that I think should be burned into the memories of us all.

" Happiness comes from loving people and using things, not from loving things and using people." Anon

The Magic of the Night Sky

I love the night sky. There is something comforting, mysterious and hopeful about standing under a canopy of swirling stars. Each summer I go camping alone in Canada’s beautiful north land to satisfy a hunger for solitude, wilderness and the night sky. Away from city lights there is nothing more awe inspiring than a star studded sky in the stillness of the wilderness.

I usually set up camp beside a lonely northern lake providing me with a long horizon and an uninterrupted view of the heavens. As darkness approaches I begin to sense an overwhelming closeness to the mysteries of the universe and a strong connection to the source of all that is. I become aware of an alternate rhythm to life - a rhythm which is so easily lost amidst the frenetic pace of contemporary existence. Embraced by darkness, with stars too numerous to count and comforted by the gentle lapping of the waves I begin to realize how much I miss, living in a city with its incessant, invasive brightness. It is as if I am rediscovering an enormous part of a lost spiritual heritage.

When sleep begins to engulf me and my eyes start to close, I reluctantly move toward my camper not wanting to miss a moment of this celestial display but realizing that I can’t resist the call to slumber any longer. In the warmth of my sleeping bag I let the silence and stillness lull me to sleep with the immortal words of Sophocles gently echoing across the centuries, “ Mortal I know I am, short lived, yet whenever I stand beneath a multitude of swirling stars I no longer tread this earth, but rise to feast with God and enjoy the food of the immortals.” And so to sleep.

The Value of a Smile

I was reading recently that, at Las Vegas blackjack tables, dealers who smile bring in 5% more revenue than the dealers who don't. The writer seems to believe that when people see a smiling face they immediately think the person smiling is on their side. Interesting!

START SMILING

Island of Peace in a Chaotic World

As many of you know I earn my living speaking throughout Canada and the USA on Humor and Human Wellness. Frequently I get so wrapped up in my work that I have to stop and take my own advice. I have to stop and smell the roses.

That's what I did recently in one of the most beautiful and relaxing settings on earth for me... a friend's farm in the heart of Ontario Canada's Ottawa Valley.

I sat out on their deck one morning overlooking the valley as the morning sun gently caressed the meadow and a mother bluebird eagerly fed her young at one of the bluebird boxes rimming the field. As I sat there soaking up the peace and solitude I became acutely aware of a different rhythm, one of calmness and oneness with the natural world.

I was reminded of the words of Sigurd Olson, the nature writer, who once said that we all need listening points on the earth where we can slow down and listen to the rhythm of the universe.

This pleasant farm near the little country town of Beachburg Ontario is one of my listening points. It's a place filled with fond memories of country music jam sessions, shared laughter and shared pain. It is also a place of peace, hope and comfort as the stillness of the valley eagerly wraps it arms around those who take time to rest and receive the message that life indeed is good and love is abundant and eternal.

Sad Facts About the Human Condition Today

* The World Health Organization says that by the year 2020 depression will be the leading cause of disability throughout the developed world.


* We live in an age of rage: road rage, air rage and now work rage.

* Eighty percent of us have low self esteem and twenty percent need a boost.

* We only achieve between 2 and 5 percent of our potential.

* Joy has vanished from our lives.

* Uncontrolled stress is killing us.

* While children laugh over 400 time a day, adults can manage only 15.

* Fear rules our lives: fear of getting old, fear of failure, rejection, death, etc.

Remember that joy and happiness are our birthrights, so fight for them. Life is too wonderful not to be enjoyed.

Hey,,, we aren't here for a long time so let's make it a good time!!

Secret to Happiness

After a talk in Niagara Falls a woman came up to me and shared her Father's secret to happiness. To be happy you must... Have someone to love... something to look forward to... something meaningful to do...and someone to laugh with. GOOD ADVICE

The Importance of a Smile

I read recently that people who smile when being interviewed for a job significantly increase the likelihood of being hired. Interesting.

Also... People who sing while they drive lessen the likelihood of experiencing road rage by 75 percent.

Also... Las Vegas Black Jack dealers who smile while dealing bring in 5 percent more revenue than those who don't. The writer believes that it's because the players feel that the dealer is on their side when the dealer smiles.
