The Lighter Side of Darkness

It seems to be a long time since I made a post where the entire point was to be funny, to make the reader smile. I'm not sure why. I can't believe that this is because my life has been devoid of humour for that length of time, or that I've failed to see the funny side of things. Sure, in many ways I've had a tough year. But I've achieved a lot too. I'd done a lot of things I've really enjoyed doing, and I don't think there is anything I'd go back and do differently given the choice. Certainly there are a lot of things I'd have liked to have turned out differently, but I believe that in the main, the things I've done have been the right things to do, so I wouldn't do them differently purely to try get a different outcome.

Do I feel some odd requirement to angst in my blog, rather than use it to report the amusing things that happen? Maybe I feel that posts that question and dissect who I am carry more weight and merit than those that just smile at the trivialities?

There's always more than one way to approach a problem, and I think I've been overly negative about mine recently. So while this post again lacks any laughs, in the future I'll try and find the lighter side of things, at least occasionally.
