Perfect title for your eye-catching entry, Pom! (Well, eye-catching for SOME of us bp'ers...)
BTW, Did you enter this in the Macro category or Catch-All? Just curious, because sometimes these images can land by mistake in the wrong category, and get tossed on their tushes ASAP! Fingers crossed for you in your climb to the Grand Prize!! ;-DDD #10619341

Humans are usually thought to be the only beings who have a sense of humor. However, there are many people who do not have it. It is my opinion that people who have a good sense of humor have an advantage over those who don't. Therefore, I strongly believe that a good sense of humor is one of the most important human qualities. My first point is that people who have a good sense of humor are often more popular with others than those who don't. It is simply because humans find it more interesting to talk with people who are able to inject some humor instead of only talking about everything seriously. Also, having a good sense of humor can cheer up other people. To illustrate, if a person has some problems, he or she may "cheer up" after talking to a person who can make some non-offensive jokes. Thus, having a good sense of humor can make one more popular among others, which is very important in so many situations. Secondly, a good sense of humor can help a person in making a career. People who have this sense usually get on well with their colleagues and with their bosses; thus, they are more likely to be promoted. This is another reason why a good sense of humor is one of the most essential human qualities. Last but not least, people who have a good sense of humor enjoy their lives more than those who do not. They usually are optimistic about various situations, and, as a result, they are more likely to have success not only in their "working" life but in their private life too. These people can more easily bear the difficulties they face with their families. Thus, they live happier lives.

Keep LOLing, LMAOing, and also while rolling on the floor! After all, laughter is the best medicine and I'm convinced BP would benefit from a HUMOR category!

I want to know how you did it Laura, you are a true inspiration to us all. The degree of technicality is off the wall. I am in awe of your work ..... Good one Laura! #10621753

This too shall pass.
That phrase is a proverb indicating that all material conditions, positive or negative, are temporary. The proverb and associated fable were popular in the first half of the 19th century, appearing in a collection of tales by the English poet Edward Fitzgerald and being employed in a speech by Abraham Lincoln before he became president.

If the words are good enough for old Abe then I’ll keep them in mind myself. Thanks for the day brightener Laura.
