Laugh - it's a good thing!

Although I have no real followers (yet), except family at this point, I am going to try to post on here more often.  My daughter has provided lots of inspiration for me to do so with her blog.  I love to read it.  And since she is not around here like she used to be, it has given me some insight about her and that makes me feel a little more in touch.  How good is that?! 

So here's something that has been going on in my life -  This week I have had two seperate conversations with friends that have made me laugh so hard that I cried.  I won't relate the stories because they are too long and won't be as funny without the back-stories.

But my point is that every time I laugh that hard I am reminded that laughing is good for the soul.  Laugh with someone and your spirit soars!  Laugh at someone....well, you better have on shoes you can run in or else be very good at apologies.  No matter.  What hearty laughter does is creates a memory that will often live through the ages. like this one below. 

A surprise party I will never forget.  SO much fun!

One of my college roommates at my daughter's wedding.  It was a blast - both the wedding and the photo booth!

  As you can imagine, I just got lost in a bit of nostalgia remembering those events. So why not think about something you laughed about once a day?  Or at least a couple times a week?  Not only does it make you appreciate the people around you, it might just change the course of your day.   ....all because you laughed!
