It amazes me how laughing can suddenly rid you of all anxieties, inhibitions and sorrows.
When there are reasons to laugh, why cry?
Sure, sorrow has its place. Sometimes it's important to keep your silence.
But every opportunity to smile, laugh, sing and enjoy should be made the most of.
When I laugh, I am perfectly oblivious to those around me. Why must I be conscious of what the twenty other strangers in the restaurant think of me? I'm not going to see them ever again. And what's the point of laughing if you don't do it with all your heart? Do I embarrass my family? My friends? Yes! But they've found that that's just who I am, and nothing they do can shut me up once I've let go. The laughing beast once unleashed, is not easily tamed! And I hope it never is; for there's nothing that puts me in a better mood than a good fit of laughter.
Hit the high decibels!
Think back and try to figure the last time you kept a straight face in the presence of a laughing friend.
Spread the joy; through laughter, a warm smile, a tight hug or a good joke.
When you see a dog, pet it till its tail is too tired to wag anymore.
Scratch a cat behind its ears till the vibrations from its purring feel like currents through your hand.
Tickle someone till their sides ache with laughter.
And just laugh.
Your body needs it, believe me.
