Top chefs and master bakers have sacred recipes that have been tested to perfection. Each ingredient is measured with accuracy and carefully added ensuring the most pleasurable culinary experience.
Life has a tried and true recipe too. We have our basic ingredients – eating, sleeping, working – those standard components that are at the core of an adult’s life. The spices of life are those events & people that provide the flavor and uniqueness.
Like any good cook, the Dose looks for the distinction in each recipe that produces the piece de résistance. For me, life’s special ingredient would be none other than HUMOR!
Humor does for me what good medicine does for an ailing body. Humor brings the Dose through difficult situations. It provides relaxation in times of struggles… it can cause a belly laugh, bring people to tears, and yet it can make me pause and forget my concerns.
The secret to adding humor in the recipe of life is to know the appropriate quantity.
Some days can accept a cup full of laughter while other days can only handle a pinch of levity.
Be a mindful cook – taste the scene and add the fitting amount of wit.
