Why Are You Laughing?

"Why do you laugh at everything?"
I couldn't believe he was asking me that.
"Excuse me?" I replied with a laugh.
He said "See! You can't even answer me without laughing a little!"
"Why is my laughing a bad thing?"
"Because nothing is funny!"



OK. So in my opinion if its not funny maybe we need to find out why. I was not gonna let this kid make me feel bad because I would rather smile and laugh than wear a frown.

If its not funny maybe we need to smile so the bad doesn't go all the way through. Maybe if we smile and laugh the brighter side is easier to find.

No, I am not a morning person or one of those dinging people who giggle relentlessly because they haven't a thought in their head. I am definitely not advocating going to a funeral or a court hearing and laughing openly.

Humor is all around you if you allow yourself to find it. If you don't take yourself so serious and laugh at yourself, goodness, it is so much more fun, especially, when you are the first person to laugh when you fall and bust your butt.

I don't always laugh when I am happy. Sometimes I get so sad, stressed or simply over whelmed by life it takes my breath. Yeah, I could give up and give in and sometimes cry my way through it but the tears always give way to laughter cause what good do the tears do you? Yeah, they are good for a while and maybe even a little cathartic but in the end they slow you down. How many people to you see running a race with tears? Now, how many people run while laughing?....Almost every child!

OK so I smile and laugh when you don't think its funny, but I feel joy in my heart and I am ready to take on the world.
I laugh because life is so much easier that way.
