Laughter is a form of love and a very powerful medicine.
We find reasons to laugh many times a day. Sometimes I tell my friends funny stories and soon the whole room is filled with the warmth of the fire and the shimmer of shared laughter.
Or, I crack a joke with the barman at the local Dog & Duck, we chuckle and make a circle of light with our feelings which others are drawn into. And lilting laughter brightens the eyes of the curly haired lady in the chemist with the good soul, as I pretend to write myself a prescription for some good stuff with my finger on the counter. We share a jolly moment and she passes the warmth onto the next person that enters with her jovial banter that breathes life force into their being.
Life is an adventure, a journey through many valleys with many mountains to climb. You’re going to get tired, you’re going to be hungry, you’re going to feel lost. Some nights will be cold and filled with scary things. Some days will be long, hot and without comfort.
If you want to feel better, here’s a suggestion for you that has worked well for many others: Do more, be more . . . and LAUGH more!
