There used to be a list of jokes about keeping a healthy level of insanity. A good sense of whimsy, an active imagination — those things will help you thrive.
“I like nonsense —
it wakes up the brain cells…” Dr. Seuss
Here’s one more whimsical quote.
“My alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz.
It’s the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz.
You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond “Z” and start poking around!”
Theodor Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss)
From Yuzz to Z, make it a thriving Thursday,

There’s a time to be silly. I don’t think we’re meant to be serious all the time. Children seem to know that better than adults. But some forget as they grow older. Good post, Teagan. 😀 — Suzanne

I, too, like nonsense. It creates new neural pathways that open up a world of possibilities. Not sure my level of insanity is healthy, but I keep working on it 🙂 Happy Holidays, Teagan! 💖

Tina, that’s actually a brilliant insight — thank you for saying it that way.
LOL, a good dose of nonsense is as good as a “healthy level of insanity.” 😀 ❤ Happy holidays to you and yours as well. Mega hugs.

He was a wise man, Kathryn. 😀 My Thursday started out thriving for sure, with the Ape hosting me here, and a beautiful review from Colleen Cheseboro! I’m still on cloud-9. Now if I can get the plumber out here today (after a week of trying) I will also have a fabulous Friday. Stay warm, and have a beautiful weekend. ❤ 🙂

AS you know, I enjoy nonsense in a way that makes little sense, but makes me happy, as did this post. Mega hugs to all. 🙂

Have you noticed what happens when a person is serious all the time? Yeah. Wrinkles. Thanks for the smiles, Teagan. 😀 🙂

Love the thriving Thursday thought…I’m changing my usual left brain “makes sense” thinking to “makes nonscence” and see if a scowl turns into smile! Follow the Ape, more fun needed here! 💛 Happy Thursday Teagan & Chris! 💛🎄💛Christine
