Hello Everyone,
I am back after a much needed break. (Mostly) caught up on work related stuff, so I have some time to post here.
If you’ve ever woken up and you’re still tired, drained, and just wishing you could roll back over and return to the blissful realm of unconsciousness sleep provides, well I hear you. But since most of us can’t retreat to the land of dreams without too much upset, I have found that humor is a good way to wake up. Below are some of the places I go to find needed shots of humor and laughs to help clean the cobwebs from my eyes.
Of course social media is going to be a place for humor. If you train your algorithm by interacting with content that’s humorous, the algorithm, which are not particularly creative if you think about it, is going to feed you more and more humor. My algorithm sends me content on humor, craftwork, oriental rugs, and fitness. Not sure what that says about me, but if I find a couple of good laughs in the morning from my feed, I’ll take them. The tip here is, of course, to train your social media feed to give you fun and funny content. Your feed is something you control and allow into your life. Mae sure it’s bringing in some fun and funny content amidst all the rest.
One place I go for laughs or funny things like memes and such is an old meme website www.iwastesomuchtime.com. It’s just a neverending page of memes. It used to be much more active with far more memes a few years ago, but it’s still a good source. Just don’t go to it too often. My children basically get all their memes from Tik-Tok. So if you’re a Tik-Tok user, then by all means, go for it.
If I’m looking for a little more inspiration, perhaps some levity and wonder, I often visit sites like www.goodreads.com or other quote sites like here and here. Sometimes, being reminded of the power, beauty, and enjoyment that laughter and humor bring, is enough to get me out of bed.
Of course, you could always just roll back over and go to sleep. But then there are are far fewer laughs while asleep than can be had while awake. Why not start that time with some laughs and enjoyment? Have a good day everyone and laugh often and much.
