Feels so good. To be silly.

When accused of being silly. I take it as a compliment. My amore mio. And others. Frequently tell me. I'm acting silly. Yes, it's often an act. But it's real, too. No pretending. I was born to be silly. Therefore, I go ahead. And accept my silly role. Without shame. Without regrets. With pleasure. With relish. That makes me entertaining. And best of all. It's contagious. My friends and associates start to act silly. We go for hours. Pursuing life in silly fashion. I pursue silliness. In large part. When I'm with friends that tend to be in the doldrums. It works. They snicker. And eventually lose themselves. In laughter.  It feels so good. To be silly. --Jim Broede
