Starting the day well is as important as starting the year well, and this year 2026 seems to be starting well for several million people, and let's hope it continues that way.

As sacra97@sacra97 rightly says in her prompt this week, life is too short to worry too much, and that's why I try to start my days in the best possible way.

And in this task, my kitty Coma helps me, who every morning wakes me up by touching my face. She seems to think she's the guardian of my sleep, because she's always watching over me.

Although it may seem silly, that small morning detail makes me start the day with joy, and I try to continue it in that mood.

If a good cup of coffee and some cookies 馃崻 can be added to that, I can already consider myself satisfied.

As for the things that make me laugh, it's once again my pets that usually make me laugh, because they have their moments that take me by surprise, like when they decide to jump on my stomach or when they demand affection from me.

Apart from that, I'm not usually a person with a very developed sense of humor, and I think mine is to a certain extent a bit dark, but many times it's not what you tell that's funny but how you tell it.

Perhaps I should work more on that aspect and try to laugh more since, as that memorable section of Reader's Digest magazine used to say, "laughter is the infallible remedy."

Empezar bien el d铆a es tan importante como empezar bien el a帽o, y este a帽o 2026 parece estar empezando bien para varios millones de personas y esperemos que siga as铆.

Como bien lo dice sacra97@sacra97 en su consigna de esta semana, la vida es muy corta como para preocuparnos demasiado, y es por eso que intento empezar mis d铆as de la mejor forma posible.

Y en esta tarea me ayuda mi gatita Coma, que cada ma帽ana me despierta tocando mi cara. Ella parece pensar que es la guardiana de mi sue帽o, porque siempre est谩 pendiente de m铆.

Aunque parezca tonto ese peque帽o detalle matutino me hace empezar el d铆a con alegr铆a, e intento continuarlo de ese humor.

Si a ello se puede sumar una buena taza de caf茅 y alguna galleta 馃崻 ya puedo darme por satisfecha.

En cuanto a las cosas que me hacen reir, son nuevamente mis mascotas las que suelen causarme risa, porque tienen sus salidas que me toman por sorpresa, como cuando deciden saltar sobre si est贸mago o cuando me exigen caricias.

Aparte de ello no suelo ser una persona con sentido del humor muy desarrollado, y creo que el m铆o es hasta cierto punto un poco negro, pero muchas veces no es lo que se cuenta lo gracioso sino como se cuenta.

Tal vez deber铆a trabajar m谩s en ese aspecto y tratar de re铆r m谩s ya que como dec铆a aquella memorable secci贸n de la revista Selecciones "la risa es el remedio infalible".
