#4! Also, any quote from Will Rogers!
Peggy, absolutely! Dean and I were talking about Will Rogers and his wisdom. So good to see you at the conference!
I thought 8 & 14 were really funny. 9 & 15 were very thoughtful. My quote is from a Shoe funny strip. There is not intelligent life on other planets. Why should they be different from ours?
My daughter in-law likes to read. I told her about your books. I’m sure before long you will have a new fan.
Danny, thank you so much. I appreciate your friendship – love the quote!
“No pressure, no diamond
No struggle, no strength!” Dr. Jerry Fowler I think?
Thank you for the awesome quotes DiAnn! They are so encouraging and can change a mind set quickly for a better day! 🥰
Karen, thanks! Not sure the author of your two quotes, but they are great!
Oh and I love to laugh out loud, and #7 did just that. I saw myself and my hubby in that one, however we got married before we had the internet otherwise we’d probably be single.
Tish, I like #7 too! So very true with me and my husband – same scenario!
Number 3 and 14 made me laugh out loud.
I needed a laugh tonight. Tomorrow I’m having a total shoulder replacement and I covet prayers for myself and my surgeon. Thank you.
Gail. Praying for your shoulder replacement. May you be restored!
Thanks Diann! I found Numbers 6 and 7 very insightful. Praise God for joy and laughter!
Thanks, Susan, So glad I made you smile!
My daughter and I just finished a DIY project. It was a slow process. We took our time, but the medley of laughter and reassuring nods throughout the process made our time together extra special. The console legs are crooked, but its one-of-a-kind😄
Dawn, uniqueness comes from being one of a kind! So does laughter and lasting memories. I’m sure the console legs are amzing.
Psalm 118:24……..”This is the day the Lord has made, I will REJOICE and be glad in it.”
Strong’s Concordance…Rejoice—–to spin around under the influence of any violent emotion…be glad, be joyful
Vondia, I love being giddy with the Lord. Rejoice and spin!
Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. – Babe Ruth
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. – Lao Tzu
Kim, your quotes inspire me. Babe Ruth struck out and won! And we have to take the first step in every venture.
Reading the jokes as I sit in the waiting room waiting to see the surgeon after my sisters cornea transplant- I read the jokes to her and she laughed aloud!
We needed that- truly laughter is a medicine.
Lois, I’m so glad you and your sister found laughter! Yes, the best medicine. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, DiAnn, for putting a smile on my face today.
Blessings!
Martha, so glad to put a smile on your face! Laughter is amazing medicine.
Truly the best medicine.
Thank you for the reminder and the smile.
Nothing beats a good belly laugh.
Keep smiling.
Joyce, As long as we can laugh, we’ll make it through this journey called life. Have a beautiful day.
