When was the last time you laughed so hard, you nearly peep’d your pants? For me, this can pretty much happen on a daily basis! Amongst other things, I LOVE TO LAUGH! In the past, when my life was a bit bumpy and lumpy, I used to say: “If I didn’t laugh, I would cry”. The reality of it is, I think I equally cried and laughed! The good thing is that these days, I laugh a lot! I often look in the mirror and take inventory of all of the wrinkles I have on my face. I contribute these wrinkles to three things: too much sun in my younger years, too much crying in my 20’s and 30’s, and way too much laughing throughout my entire life! When I think about my reasons for wrinkles, Im not upset or bugged about them, (most days), because I love that I laugh loud, and proud each and every day of my life! Besides a pretty jovial sense of humor, I feel laughter is therapy. In addition, laughter is much less expensive than therapy! Whether it be a joke, a good story, or just laughing at myself, I probably laugh about 50% of my day, and the other half Im typically smiling! Plus Im sure you’ve heard the info that states laughing and smiling requires the use of fewer muscles than frowning, so why NOT laugh, it’s easier?!? Once of my Aunts used to tell this little jingle. While it was designed for a smile, I think it works equally as well for laughing. Here I go: “Smile a while, and while you smile another smile, and soon there are miles and miles and miles of smiles because you’ve smiled”! Ok, if that jingle does not make you laugh, I don’t know what will! The reality of it is, laughing is contagious, so once you begin to laugh, the world will laugh with you!
Today’s activity: laugh
By definition: to express mirth, derision, etc. with inarticulate sounds and facial or bodily movements
Today I encourage you to laugh…A LOT! Whether you have to buy a book of jokes, or find a class clown, start laughing, and start laughing NOW! You may find some odd feelings take place. For example, your face my hurt, from smiling and laughing. Your ribs may hurt, from smiling and laughing. Or, your eyes may water or tear, from smiling and laughing! All of this smiling and laughing is completely therapeutic, and so, so good for the soul. Just try it, for today, and then keep it going for a few days, which will turn into laughing every day. Laughter is joyful spirit to the heart, and can you give me any reason, any reason at all why you would not want to have a happy heart? I thought NOT! Here we go….Knock, knock. Who’s there?......hahahahahahahah!!!
