MUSE UPON THIS:
When was the last time you laughed?
And I mean a from-the-belly, deep guffaw. Don’t those giggles feel good? The power of laughter is dramatic. Laughter has been proven to help us feel better both physically and mentally. (Really! There is actually a science that studies the physiological responses of the body to laughter, gelotology!). So, when was the last time you laughed? Last week’s post on Zack’s Happy Dance has had me thinking all week. When are we as gloriously joyful as little kids are? I remember a USA statistic from years ago that said children smile an average of over 300 times a day – adults, 9. It is time to smile and laugh, everyone! Share with us links or ideas for happiness, joy and laughter!

Over the weekend I shared a great laugh with a friend (the kind of laugh when you can't talk because you are laughing so hard). I was recalling something I did as a 16 year old. I was trying to be so "cool" and instead I ended up not cool at all. At the time it was SO embarrassing but now it is hilarious. It can be fun to remember those things we have done that were mortifying at the moment but now on reflection are just funny because you realize it doesn't/didn't really matter.

Recently I took a lunch break at a park. My co-workers and I ended up swinging on the monkey bars and playing catch like kids - it still makes me smile and chuckle to myself to think about how much fun I had.
