The first time I can recall my sense of humor having a dramatic effect on my life was when I was in the third grade.  I was performing in the play “Alice in Wonderland.”  No, I wasn’t Alice.  I was Humpty Dumpty. You know, the egghead who was damaged irreparably when he found out he […]

One day I was walking along a pier in San Diego when I noticed a young woman dancing and singing softly to herself.  Occasionally, she would stop and take a sip of her coffee. As I walked by she waved and smiled, and this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill, everyday smile.  It was a radiant smile […]

Anyone can tell you that one key to living a happy, successful life is having a positive attitude, especially during adverse times.
