This post began with a typo.

I typed in “sense of humor” and it came up as “sense of human”

It made me pause …. Having a sense of humor about being human allows us to move through life with a lot more ease and grace.

Having a sense of human is when…

  • We acknowledge our inner critter when it gets up to mischief.
  • We can laugh at our imperfections … and then give ourselves a hug.
  • We notice all aspects of ourselves and can say “How curious!” “How fascinating!” or “How hilarious!”
  • We realize that life is actually like a daytime soap opera, and we can change the storyline whenever we want.
  • We look in the mirror, see our parent and laugh out loud!
  • We find ourselves noticing the pain and struggle in others and bring some lightness their way.
  • We realize that we are connected to one another because of shared needs and sense of humanity.
  • We appreciate that laughter feeds our souls and is good for our health.

…. Does anything else come to mind?
