My new calling.

I know. I know.  Occasionally, I take life too seriously. And get upset. Over matters beyond my control. Of course, that’s a waste of time. And it’s not good for my physical, mental and emotional health. Yes, I’d be better off. Taking life less seriously. By focusing on the funny and absurd side of life. By setting aside  time, daily, for laughter. If I can’t find something to laugh at or about – it’s time for psychiatric help.  I’m at my best. When I’m downright silly. Especially when someone tells me to get serious. Indeed, I have to take a stand. Draw a line. Make a declaration. That life wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. Yes, that’s why I’m gonna pursue my new calling.  As a stand-up comic. --Jim Broede
