Laughter is the Best Medicine

I think a magazine uses that line. I don't remember which one. Yes. The above photo is me snorkeling. The photo didn't turn out quite how I had planned! It is easy to become so serious with RAD around the house. It is easy to become overwhelmed, frustrated and totally absorbed by it. DON'T DO IT! Take time to laugh. Whether at yourself, with your spouse or with friends it is important to find the laughter in your life.

The other night Taz and I were driving our hour drive home from counseling. He said one of his friends was thinking of becoming a chef.

Me:"That could be really interesting."

Taz: "yes. Probably at Runza" (Fast food place)

Me: (smiling on the inside) I think they just hire cooks.

Taz: "Oh Yeah. More like KFC."

Me: (nearly about to burst) "welllllll maybe a little fancier".

Taz: "Oh yeah. Village Inn. Yeah. Like Village Inn."

Me: (enjoying this conversation!) "Maybe more like that."

Find laughter in your day!

Laughter

I think it is Hallmark that is fond of the old quote "Laughter is the best medicine". (And as Bren pointed out, God said it first! : )" It's true. It can change the whole mood of the day. Yesterday Bear was a.....bear. I asked him if he needed a hug and reached for him. He turned and stomped away angrily. I grabbed his arm and pressed my cheek to his upper arm. I was wearing my fuzzy slippers and we were in the kitchen. He started leaving the room and I hung on. I ended up sliding like a sled. Our little dogs, Maddie and Nellie started jumping up and nipping at my butt. I started to giggle. Taz was near by and he started laughing out loud. Bear turned around and started laughing too. He finally said "I have to admit that was funny." Every time someone came in the room we had to reenact it for them. Find the laughter. It is great medicine.
