Hi Freebird,

What's the deal here? I make one post on a very serious topic and the first response is ridiculing the writing name I chose?
Just kidding.
Actually it is obvious that you have already learned the most healing laughter of all....the ability to laugh at yourself. Thanks for the welcome.
Jim

Hi Jim,

Your first couple of words made me tremble a bit, yet what a relief to share together within the healing laughter.

Happy that you have joined us, and look forward to your further sharing.

There's a reason why we have a forum here on jokes.

I think it was Konrad Lorenz who pointed out the connections between laughter and wonder . . . how the "Ha Ha" of laughter is very close to the "Ah ha" of wonder.

A cute joke to brighten everyone's day

A monk joins the Trappist order and takes a vow of silence. However, he's promised by the head Monk that he can speak two words per year.

After the first year the head Monk asks the new monk for his two words for the year. The monk replies: "more blankets".

After the second year again the monk is asked for his allowed two words and he replies: "more food".

After the third year the monk tells the head Monk: "I'm leaving".

The head Monk says: "Thank God, you've done nothing but moan and complain since you got here".
