In the notes I write for my Coping and Healing groups, the topics often include “cause and effect.” What causes me to do that is that people often like to identify relationships between events, even when that relationship might not exist.
For example, when I noted yesterday that our ailing Bonsai tree was doing better, my usually very logical husband Michael replied that my saying that out loud was going to cause problems for the Bonsai tree.

I laughed out loud at the idea that in order to unlock my computer I should open the fridge. (Because the cat is sitting on the computer.) Thanks for that!
I’m listening to “I want to get better” now. Thank you
You cause me to appreciate you every time you comment, my effective friend.
The cause was me telling my writing group I saw a baguette in a cage at the zoo.
When I added “It was bread in captivity” the effect was everyone groaned and the group leader yelled “Okay, we’re done here!”
I’m never done with your puns, Chris.

I’m glad that my blog post caused you to create that poem, Maria!
I think the Amazon request for photographic evidence of the missing package is absolutely the best laugh! You shared it–I laughed. Cause and effect! 🙂
Your comments always cause me to feel better, effective immediately!
