From Each Day a New Beginning - Karen Casey

Laughter can cure a physical condition; it can and will positively affect an emotional illness as well. Laughter ushers in a new perspective which gives vent to a changed attitude toward any situation, any individual, is all-powerful.
A negative, critical attitude toward our financial situation, toward our boss, spouse, or children, determines how we feel moment by moment. In like manner, when we raise our sights, look at the world with lightness in our hearts, expecting to enjoy the day, the people, the activity, we'll succeed.
Choosing a humorous response, opting to laugh at our situation, at any point in time, keeps our personal power where it belongs - with ourselves.

Of course there are moments when laughing at a situation will piss a person off. I laugh in an extremely uncomfortable situation -I wouldn't recommend this - it makes it worse. I can't help it though.

That's very true... sometimes I have to keep my giggles to myself. But you know, the thing about personal power is very true - the power to choose your perspective.
