Laughter is the Best Medicine

I can't say I had the very best day today. Without going into great detail, I was just feeling a bit upset about a few things and not entirely pleased with the way I handled a situation. While I will be the first to admit that I tend to obsess over things that I don't necessarily like, I could feel such an obsession coming on as I was leaving my school this afternoon.

By the time I got home I could have faced a torturous evening of "if's, ands or buts" however, I was welcomed home by simply the cutest cat in the world. I've heard statistics about how people with pets live much happier lives and I have to say that this makes so much sense to me. There is nothing like coming home to my little guy. His greeting is so adorable and sincere and he truly makes me feel at home here. I really don't think I'd have made such a smooth transition from leaving my house of twenty four years to moving to another country so well if it wasn't for him. (That and this is my favourite place, like ever. Ever, ever.)

Anyway, Edward was the first key part of turning my day around, however this particular post is about the other part that made me feel better: the Office.

I watched several episodes as I made homemade Zucchini Torte from scratch (for the first time!) In my humble opinion, the Office is single-handedly one of the most clever and hilarious shows of our time. Few shows ever make me laugh out loud when I'm by myself but this is truly one that does. All of the characters are so hilarious and so very loveable.

The Office was the perfect little escape from reality for me this evening. It made me laugh, smile and feel all warm inside (lame, I know.)

Anyway, the point of all this is I want to provide this kind of lightness and entertainment to people's lives. I want to be the one who makes them laugh and makes them excited to come home, relax, eat some food, have a drink... just sit back and relax. I want to be a part of entertainment (be it a live show, television show or movie) that people look forward to watching. I'm so thankful for the actors and comedians who have enriched my life with humor and that's what I want to do.

I want to make people laugh. That's what I want to do. Always.
