A Barrel of Humor

Q: Why this Barrel of Humor?



When I looked around me and saw friends, work colleagues, family, acquaintances and the usual passerby, coping with high stress levels everyday, I asked the question,"What would it take to get people out of this zaniness and have them be more optimistic, creative and have a positive demeanor about them?"

The Answer: Humor. It is a great way for building relationships, and reducing stress levels which is a key to emotional self-management.

My way of coping with stress was to see humor in everyday happenings. I found that by seeing humor in situations or creating fun when others are getting tense, provides value and welcome relief.
