Time Travel Thursday #33 - Laughter is the Best Medicine


CHECK OUT ALL THE DETAILS FOR THE PARTY HERE!


Welcome to the 33rd Time Travel Thursday linky party at the Brambleberry Cottage.

Are you ready for our next trip back in time and into the future?

Then what are we waiting for?
Let's get going!


Have you ever noticed that really young children seldom exhibit embarrassment?

In general, the very young take life as it comes and feel no need to be perceived as anything other than who they are.

Then, something strange begins to take place, and the perceptions of others become of paramount importance—especially during the teen and young adult years.

It's quite unfortunate that we humans have a tendency to dwell in that place for such a long portion of our lives.

But, I'm happy to announce, the pendulum swings back to the "carefree" side, later on in life.

So, why all the philosophical banter here?

Simply to set the stage my dear!


You see, for five weeks, I'll be havin' another party here at the Brambleberry Cottage.

And I'm calling it Funny Faux Pas Follies.

Webster's defines faux pas as "BLUNDER; especially:  a social blunder."

Ever experience one of those?

Well now is your chance to share that experience with the world.

And the point?

Just plain ole fun!!!

A post of my own personal faux pas will go up each Friday—starting March 4, 2010—and a link will be provided for you to join the fun.

So be thinking of your funniest, most embarrassing moments and be prepared to share—keeping it "family friendly," of course.

If laughter is the best medicine, we should all be the picture of health by the end of this party!!!  ; )

“The rate at which a person can mature is directly proportional to the embarrassment he can tolerate.”

Douglas Engelbart
