Long description:
Inside every one of us is the boundless potential for creativity. Often it's the constant challenges life presents us, simple or complex, that allow us to tap into the very best of our imaginations.
In addition to sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, we possess that most unusual sense: humor. Of all the senses, humor proves to be the most useful when navigating the ups, downs, and in-betweens of life. (Hey, it works for me!)
Is it possible that we all might benefit by adopting a more lighthearted approach to life?
