I ALWAYS find myself smiling.........

I have noticed that every single time I visit the Gulch, I always have a smile on my face by the time I leave, and very often a few chuckles or an outright laugh.
When I noticed this, it made me think. After all, there is probably not a group of people anywhere that is more aware of the sad things happening in our country and our culture. We are also very cognizant of how things should and could be, and this could be a reason to be hopeless and sad.
Then it dawned on me that the people in the Gulch have a vibrant sense of life that permeates every comment and post. This is the sense of life that Ayn Rand described and celebrated.
And that is what makes this Gulch so very special and essential to me, and I want to thank each and every one of you for the smile I always have when I visit the Gulch!

    How anyone could live a humorless life is beyond me. But there is more to Mommaemma's smile. It is being surrounded by the sense of life she finds in the Gulch. She is surrounded by the idea people, the productive people, and the people who understand that life is to do, not to be done for you. They understand that it doesn't mean you can't give a helping hand, or be willing to put yourself in jeopardy for someone you love.

    Mamaemma,
    No matter how they try, they can never take your sense of humor!

    "The new employee stood before the paper shredder looking confused.
    "Need some help?" a secretary asked.
    "Yes," he replied. "How does this thing work?"
    "Simple," she said, taking the fat report from his hand and feeding it into the shredder.
    "Thanks, but where do the copies come out?"

    :)
    O.A.
