Lately I've been going through a really rough time, but I can honestly say, when life is getting you down - keep laughing.
There may be times when it seems hopeless. There may be times when it is too overwhelming, however, laughter can be as releasing as a good cry.
Through the tough times, I've had to use laughter a tremendous amount. I think at times if I couldn't have laughed, I would have died.
Recently, it's been tough again and a group of friends came to my rescue.
Did they have the standard platitude sayings? The "oh dear" - "we're so sorry".
Did they have the comforting pat on the shoulder?
Did they have the "there, there, dear - things will look brighter tomorrow?"
No - they brought the gift of laughter. Each one of them has a tremendous sense of humour, and definitely the gift of the glib.
It never failed. They got me laughing. As I was laughing, life didn't seem so bleak. Just the very act of laughter can be a huge release.
Picture yourself, like Santa Claus, and your tummy jiggles like a bowl full of jelly.
The next time you are really down, struggling in life - find a group of people like these ones and let yourself laugh like Santa Claus. The full, hardy laugh.
Not a tittering laugh, not a short little giggle - but a full, all out blast of laughter.
Oh Santa - HO HO HO!!!!!!
It's not only good for the soul, it's good for the body.
And life goes on!!!!!!!
