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. 🙂

Donna, you have the most brilliant gift of whimsy I have ever seen. As Rae just said, it is the opposite of “No sense” and you sue it so well. Thanks for taking time to visit here. Mega hugs right back!

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