September 12

-- Will Rogers

We laugh when others do something silly. We're amused when something funny happens to them. But if the same happens to us and people laugh, we might give them the evil eye.

Yet, when others laugh, it can free us. It frees us to see the world through new eyes. Likewise, when we laugh at ourselves, we're free to see ourselves with new eyes. Instead of trying to be perfect, we accept we're human. To laugh at ourselves is to accept ourselves. There's no room for shame when we laugh. We enjoy ourselves just as we are. Can I accept the fact I'm human and I have limits?

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, when I refuse to accept that I'm only human, be gentle with me. I know that, when I least expect it, you will remind me that I'm only human.

Action for the Day

I will share with a friend one or two stories about funny mistakes I've made.
