Coming up at the expense of yours truly

With the uncertainty of the times we’re in, I believe we all could use a good laugh, or at the very least something to smile about.

Comic strips do the trick for me. So I thought about some of my favorite comic strips and the few times our paths literally crossed.

Just remembering these stories made me smile again and in one case made me laugh… at myself.

If you could use a smile or a laugh, (at my expense,) check out these stories.

This final story won’t make you snort like a pig. But anytime I get to hear Yoda speak, even about a serious subject, I smile.

Daily Doable: Gift yourself a smile. Turn off the news and think about things that make you laugh and smile. It’s time well spent. #DoWhatYouCanNow

Laughter can inspire but so can great quotes. This compilation of quotes and commentary by my CAPITAL Acquaintance, Bill Abbate, inspired me.
