Good morning my fun-loving DU family, [View all]

In times as serious and stressful as these, it is imperative that we find healthy outlets to relieve the pressure that only seems to be growing.
For me, it's as simple as giving my "inner child" permission to show himself in public, lol, with my ridiculous puns and goofy free associations offered in the hope of eliciting laughter, especially my own.
Please have a day filled with opportunities to figuratively dance, sing or play with fun and joy being the only desired result.
Love, John
