Just as I was wondering what to write about, I saw my friend Kristen's post on No One's Hamster about celebrating one thing about ourselves each month.

I was speechless. You don't like comedy? How can that be? You don't like laughing? You don't like feeling happy?
To me, that's like saying, "No thanks, I don't like food that tastes good." Any day of the week I like a chuckle, a giggle, a belly laugh (or, as my mom would call it, a guffaw), or all three.
