The news is stressing everyone out.
Anxiety, depression, and despair are consuming many, BUT –
Not all of the headlines are apocalyptic. Some are merely strange and disturbing.

All the world apparently doesn’t love a clown.
Why the haters?
It seems to be hip to see ALL clowns as “creepy” and zombies as cool.
It’s ironic that zombies streaked in blood and oozing death are deemed benevolent while goofy clowns donned in ginormous polka-dots are most likely evil.
Am I alone, but what’s not to love about red rubber noses, orange wigs, baggy pants, exaggerated make-up, and over-sized floppy shoes?
99.9999999999999999% of Hollywood – and everyone on TV – wears fake hair and too much make-up. So what?
My favorite zombie is “the tall mixed drink consisting of several kinds of rum, liqueur, and fruit juice.” […]

Send in the clowns!
AATH is The Association for Applied & Therapeutic Humor –
THE home for humor and laughter professionals.
Their 27th annual humor conference is April 3-6 in Vincennes, Indiana.
Everyone loves to laugh,
but did you know that therapeutic humor is a valuable tool to help yourself and others?
Think of those who battle cancer and chronic illness, nurse patients with spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury, comfort the dying, care for a parent with Alzheimer’s, cope with the death of a son in a car accident, deal with the legacy of alcoholic parents, struggle with the aftermath of rape, miscarriages, suicide.
Unfortunately, “Pain and Suffering” is a reality show playing at a neighborhood near you.
Hard to believe, but I’m told some people stress out over traffic jams (not me!) or a a lost earring (nope!) or (God forbid!) a lousy internet connection.
