I love quirky things!  Whenever we want to find a movie on Netflix, my husband and I look for titles that describe the movie as being quirky.  When the characters are a little kooky, or different, or dance to a different tune then there is an added bit of a surprise in the ingredients of the story.  The quirky characters have a different way of looking at things which I find delightful. When a movie has that quality, it is just plain fun.

I love quirky people.  They are zany and full of life and add just a bit of craziness to your interactions with them.  I have a friend that I met while planning an event. We were involved in the creative aspects of a presentation.  I, as a singer and she, as a dancer were included in the mix of people organizing the program. When we met, we were just drawn to each other and had an instant connection.  We were quirky together and had so much fun from the very first day. To this day we are close friends even when we don’t see each other for long periods of time. It is a wonderful gift to have a friend like her.

I love doing quirky things with my grandchildren.  I have acted goofy to make them laugh from the beginning  of their lives and they would often say, “Grandma’s goofy,” to each other. To which I would reply, “Goofy is good.”  We had so much fun being quirky together when they were small. I can still make them laugh even as they have grown up.

Life is often very serious in this life we all share.  If we are always serious, without looking for reasons to still laugh and have fun, then life can be very difficult.  There is always something quirky dwelling among us. Sometimes, it may be difficult to find, but it is worth the time and effort to search for it.  It is a way to find balance in these difficult times of our society. Being a little quirky can be an antidote to the negative aspects of our daily lives.  And isn’t that a wonderful thing? I think so. If you don’t agree, try it. You just might like it.
