Life can be stressful… I don’t think anyone would deny that
statement. With a dog post-ACL surgery waiting for me at home in a cone (which
she hates!), the expenses and stresses of moving to a new town, and what seemed
to be a slew of lame things happening to my friends weighing on my
mind, I was walking home from work one evening when I passed the Bozeman Center
for the Arts and noticed a strategic piece of graffiti that brought a smile to
my face. Someone had spray painted a ‘F’ in front of the word ‘Arts’ on the
sign outside the building so that the sign read “Bozeman Center of the Farts”.
Immature – yes. Vandalism – also true. Funny – without a doubt! I found myself
laughing the rest of the way home, and MAN IT FELT GOOD. For me, sometimes I
just need a good laugh to help turn my mind and my day around, and I know the
others on the Board of Directors for Outdoor Mindset feel the same way.
That is actually one of our main values we wanted preserve when creating Outdoor Mindset, to incorporate humor in all that what we do. We want to make
people laugh and smile, despite any other neurological craziness going on in
their lives. Sometimes we can be quirky… would anyone agree with that? I mean
have you seen the video we submitted for the Cultivate Wines Non-Profit video contest, The Give?? (Oh yeah, and also, please vote for us here every day from
now until June 30th so we can win some moolah to spend on our
Members!) I don’t think you could NOT crack a smile when a suited up Kyle Martin
comes rolling down the road towards the camera and then almost runs right into the
thing (right at the 1:15 mark for anyone who may have missed it. Your welcome, Kyle.)

So please, try to have a giggle.
Sometimes you can’t just go out and find it when you need it, so let it find you, too. No matter
what’s going on in your day, in your week, or even in your BRAIN, try to find a
smile or some laughter somewhere out there because I promise it’s going to make
you feel better.
“The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”

Laughing all the way,
Jill
