One thing I hope I never lose (actually, I lose everything so why I do think there’s anything I won’t lose?) is my ability to see funny things.
Last night I was emailing back and forth with a friend and we were discussing something serious and sad that’s happening. A day or so before, she had sent me a picture of an apple pie they had made. I’m really bad about never changing the subject line in an email. My friend is very kind and always says the right things. She had sent me a long email, offering support, and I shed a few tears while reading it. When I clicked on “reply”, I realized that the subject still said “Apple Pie”.
I wrote her back and said:
Thanks! You did make me laugh. That’s some deep content with the subject “Apple Pie”! 🙂
None of our discussion involved anything remotely funny but the subject line made me smile . . and sometimes, a smile is really needed!

Well, I laughed at your proposal to have Vince eat the unknown “acorn”/mushroom! As if!
p.s. Let’s give it to Mikey! He’ll eat anything!

I do that with my BFF. She will send me (usually) a joke or photos. I reply and add to it, and then we just keep going…

That is funny! And, that makes life fun!
