President Gordon B. Hinckley said that. He knew how to be professional, somber, and thoughtful without eliminating all sense of humor.
I mean... it will be a sad and dark day when we forget to laugh and enjoy life. I realized this as I walked to class the other day. I pulled an "ella" and slipped and fell. This wasn't a small trip. It was a wipe out. Sure, I could have blushed and cried as my economics book flew to the ground and my butt slammed so hard I'm pretty sure it shook the snow off the trees next to me. I was in a crowd of people, but I didn't know a single person. I popped up and, embarrassingly, said, "Wow. Careful right there, it's slippery." Lots of people were staring at me, and I'm fairly certain my dress was caught up in my backpack (revealing my awesome back shot). But, WHATEVER! I don't know these people, and if nothing else, I brought a smile to their faces.
Heaven knows I brought a smile to my own.
And here's just a few of the many people that taught me to laugh when I fall (seriously there's just so many. But no way do I have a picture with or of all of them).
I wish you could tag someone on blogspot...
