Laughter.......it truly IS the best medicine!

Marty was putting together some video that we had taken several years ago of the grandkids and also some of the last vacation we took before his lung surgery.   There was so much laughter in them.   He and I.....laughing and having a good time.  

Somewhere in the last several years I seem to have lost that.  What has happened to me?   I've been told that I am way too serious anymore.   I don't try to be.  It's not my intention to be.    I have plenty to be happy about and thankful for.  Maybe it's all the things I have to think about as a caregiver.   I have a lot on my plate.   Why can't I just laugh???????

Perhaps it's because when you laugh you have to let go and relax.   That's hard to do sometimes when you have so many things to think about.  Although, I'm actually less busy than I was when the kids were in school and we were running here, there and everywhere with them.  Rushing home to be sure everyone was fed and where they needed to be.  I am home almost every evening.     

Have I lost the ability to laugh and enjoy life?   No......I don't think so.   I mean, I'm not a sad person. I think maybe I've just forgotten how.   I think this will be my new goal.   Be happy.....Be joyful......Put some laughter back in our lives.  

When we laugh we feel better......and who doesn't want to feel better???
