I have retreated to my office on a warm July day in Dallas. I have several errands that I need to do, but I dread braving the scalding summer weather.
For a few minutes, I consider how wonderful it would be to spend a day on the beach at Galveston or in the mountains of New Mexico.
Then, I laugh and remind myself that I am quite comfortable in my air conditioned office. Instantly, I feel better, and I am reminded of a quote from the comedian Milton Berle: “Laughter is an instant vacation.”
