Laughter after Irma and Harvey-repost

(I originally posted in "Off Topic" but it received 0 views in several days. I really want to share this so I re-posted.)

Hope and laughter. Something many people need a lot more of these days. After experiencing the half empty part of the glass, we HAVE to see the half full part.  A lot of good stories have come out of a lot of tragedy and sometimes it is the simplest acts that are the best. A lady stood outside a Walmart in Houston and gave out hugs. She was a great hugger. The response was tremendous. What a difference she made. I felt better just watching her. I had a rough week with Irma but things are looking better and my experience was very mild compared to many.

I came across this short video a number of years ago and I want to share it with everyone. It is short and wonderful and always makes me laugh. Please enjoy it with a bellyful of laughs and realize that life is good.

Besides, my bread is always better when I have a good attitude.

Laugh while you bake. Bake with love- the best ingredient.

It made me smile, for sure. It also makes me happy when my bread customers give me hugs. Baking good bread is good for the soul... :)

share what brings us joy - whether it be a good bake, or a bake with some fun "learning experiences", or a video that touches us, or a story of thriving after difficulties.  Thank you!  I'm happy to see that you came through the hurricanes so far with your priorities and your love still intact!
