Great quote. But isn’t it odd how the humor genre doesn’t even show up in the lists of top performing genres? To be a humor writer is a struggle, but it is my calling. The heading image on my blog says it all for me; https://richardfarleyauthor.WordPress.com “Laughter is the Spirit Singing”

I count on humor doing just that, Beth. And if we could only have that brand of joy in our everyday grandie J has in that photo!

Perfect picture. The kids are getting so big. 🙂 Pretty soon they’ll be teenagers, even if it doesn’t seem like it. LOL

    Scary but it seems inevitable, at least right now. Like coming to the edge of a waterfall in a tiny boat, with no way of stopping.
