Being Silly is not a dirty word
Silly is derivative of the old English word saelig, which means happy, innocent and blessed!

I think we need to allow ourselves silliness time. We have it as children and then "the world" talks us out of it. Grow up and be serious, which we need to do, but not at all times. Yes, we ALL have challenges I know that. I know that life can seem very hard at times. But, our thinking determines our experience. No matter what is going on in your life, find something to be greatful for. NOW! God is good, and GOOD is at hand, right now and always for your benefit. Start with one thing even if you think its a small thing. Then think of another thing to be greatful for. Do a gratitude list. I dare you. You cannot be discouraged, depressed, upset and be greatful at the same time. It doesn't go together. Then joy can spring up! Wow! Smiles! Then you can spread your wings and bring happiness to others right now. Silliness can appear. You may just save someone else's life as a result of this transformation in your thought and action.
Go out of your way to do something for someone that you would never do before. Be inventive. Try it. You may never be the same.
