The Lighter Side



I love this poster! I can't remember how many times I saw (and enjoyed) Beatlejuice as a kid; and the Joker in the Dark Knight was brilliant! A conversation between the two would be very interesting indeed. A friend  sent this picture to me and when I started searching for the source so that I could give credit to the owner, I found that lots of people had placed this on their personal pages and on photobucket, so no luck there (one website that I did find it on was 'knowyourmeme').  At first I found it funny, and then it reminded me of when I was a kid and how my family would enjoy a movie together. Happy times! 

This past week has been overwhelming and I've been trying to calm myself down; trying to enjoy the good moments. I constantly encounter a lot of people that make mountains out of mole hills and just infect everyone with their negativity. Returning a hateful comment with one that's equally hateful won't solve anything and it won't make you feel any better. Few people know the wonders of kind little gestures. A genuine "thank you", "have a nice day"or even a smile can turn someone's' day around and give them a few moments of happiness or encouragement when they're having a rough day.  It could be just what they need to regain faith in the world and push through. Sometimes it's okay not to take everything so seriously. In this competitive day and age, we need to slow down and take notice of what counts.  I wish everyone joy and true peace.
