Capturing thoughts

As the happiness experiment continues, I find myself able to take my thoughts captive more easily. Yay! The discipline is beginning to pay off! Negative or judgmental thoughts are being replaced by thoughts of peace and joy.

I've even begun punning again. I'm not one for sophisticated wit or humor. Nope, I thrill to a good pun, or physical comedy. It's true. Watching someone else get hurt (only in a movie or TV Show) just makes me roar! An old Charlie Chaplin or Abbott and Costello, possibly a Laurel and Hardy flick, and I'm practically peeing my pants. But the pun....ahhh, I love a good pun.

So last night, as I was clearing up the dishes after dinner and throwing away some potato peelings, I found myself overcome by an urge to sing in my best Tom Jones-lounge-lizard style impersonation,
"Peelings....nothing more than Peelings,
trying to forget these peelings from spuds.
Teardrops running down on my face
'cause we had onions with those peelings and grub.

Peelings, whoa whoa whoa,
peelings again on my arms,
peeeelings..."

Hey,at least my sister-in-law found it funny.
