I have posted this elsewhere but this is probably where it belongs since it made me laugh and laugh and laugh! My son, Kirk, who was a therapist for many years…sent it to me:

Thanks for posting the YouTube, Luise; i had seen it before but love, love it!  Hysterical laughing!

Once in a while I'll remember his down to earth words, (Bob Newhart's) and before i start in on the self-pity/criticism, I'll say STOP IT!

(Hope this wasn't a spoiler alert and I'm sure everyone looked at the YouTube!)

if we could all only just stop it! (our thoughts) how content we'd be!  Years ago I was complaining about the coldness of the ocean when jumping in to snorkel; must have been pretty annoying; son, then a teenager and always fairly blunt, said, "Mother, get over it!"

So right on!  I got used to the frigid temps and enjoyed the adventure!

Great sketch, that one and imagine how much money it would safe, but then a lot of people would be out of work. I didn't know the comedian but very funny indeed. LOL

Agapi Stassanapoulos was on Martha Stewart recently promoting her book, Unbinding the Heart http://unbindingtheheart.com/. She said whenever she was sad or frustrated with life her mother would say, "Change the channel!"
