Humor: Got Some?

Humor/laughter helps us at every level of life – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and psychological.

But, don’t we already know this?

Somehow, we think that since we are adults we have to be serious, all of the time.

A good attack of laughter can improve your job, foster creativity, improve your health and just make you feel better all over.

You get a lot of bang for your laughter. To top it all off, it is the best stress reliever of all times.

Remember, when you were a child and you got an uncontrollable attack of the giggles? Wonderful, wasn’t it?

Even as adults we are occasionally overwhelmed with laughter and it sure feels good.

Why not tickle your funny bone and laugh out loud and often each day. It won’t take long for you to realize this can become infectious.

Remember, most people are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.

Hey, did I just hear a giggle?

Mary Ann Sheveland

Mary Ann grew up in Brownwood, a small central Texas town. Her early love of the violin, which developed at the age of ten, and subsequent mastery of the instrument opened many opportunities for her. She was mentored and prepared for her musical journey from the director of the Abilene Philharmonic Orchestra. She auditioned and was selected to join the Blue Jeans Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra was underwritten by Levi Straus Blue Jean Manufacturer and the City of Estes Park, Colorado. Two musical students from each state were selected and concerts were given each Sunday afternoon in a natural amphitheater in the Rocky Mountains. Mary Ann remains an alumnus of this group which is an active symphony now making their home in Breckenridge, Colorado. Mary Ann also played in the Las Vegas, Wichita Falls and Austin Symphony Orchestras.

She had a busy career beginning at the Governor’s Office in Colorado. Then fourteen years at a Texas Trade Association. She was Manager of a Computer Magazine Publishing Company. The last few years of working were spent in sales, which led to her home office, as her husband’s health declined.

Since her husband’s death, Mary Ann has written several books, including a Book of Poetry, Children’s Short Stories, Reflections, The Pioneers and her just published book, Journey of My Heart, A Memoir.

During the last quarter of 2012 Mary Ann was engaged with speaking engagements and book signings in several states, as well as radio interviews from New York City, Dallas, Denver, Portland and Seattle, Washington.
