Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh About It....

Laughter is an instant vacation.  ~Milton Berle

When the going gets tough...laugh A LOT! Sometime you get to the point that laughing is all you can do...and it helps!  Having fun, laughing a little and smiling is contagious.  

Think about a time of uncontrollable laughter.  I can recall a time with my sister only a couple of years ago.  We were playing "Sing Star" and listening back to the recordings in "chipmunk sound."  It really tickled us.  We started to laugh and plain and simple couldn't stop.  The rest of the family came into the room wondering what was going on.  When they saw us laughing, they started to laugh. They didn't know why they were laughing, but they were.  Soon the whole family filled the room and the room filled with laughter. If there was a sour mood in the house prior, it was gone after that.

Laughter is good for the heart and soul.  It just makes you feel better.  When we try to enjoy what we are doing...usually it will get better.

I found a few great quotes about laughter I want to share.  I hope you find laughter in each day!

What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul.  ~Yiddish Proverb


When people are laughing, they're generally not killing each other.  ~Alan Alda


Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion.  I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.  ~Kurt Vonnegut


A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.  ~Irish Proverb


Laughter gives us distance.  It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.  ~Bob Newhart
