Life can be serious. Find time to find joy and humor in life.
Today's post is a reminder to focus on the lighter side of life and to find happiness in the everyday moments (the serious stuff will find you all by itself).

Laugh Lots!
Focus on finding the fun!
When you embrace the idea of laughing lots, you’re choosing to find humor in the little things that happen each day.
Don't allow the stress or challenges of life to weigh you down too much. Instead of focusing on what’s going wrong, make a point to enjoy the funny moments, the silly jokes, and the laughter shared with others. This doesn’t mean ignoring your problems, but rather not letting them take away your ability to find joy and humor.
I will always remember the sadness I felt during my mother's time in hospice, but I will also always remember the day I leaned over my mother's hospital bed to kiss her hello on a visit and in a hoarse voice this tiny woman near the end of her life said "you're getting thin".
Thinking she was concerned over her eldest son (me) not taking care of himself and getting enough to eat while looking after his mother's health, I replied "No, mom... I'm fine and grabbed dinner before coming to visit you."
Without missing a beat she looked up at me and said "No. Your hair. Your hair is getting thin" because she saw a burgeoning bald spot at the top of my scalp when I leaned over to kiss her. As this was the first I heard of my always thick and luxurious locks betraying me, I was a little shocked but my mother thought it was hilarious and snickered at me with a mischievous grin on her face.
When you're laying in bed and close to death -- you still have time to find the funny.
Laughing lots can help you connect better with people, ease tension, and even improve your mood. It’s a simple but powerful way to keep your spirits up and remind yourself to take a step back and enjoy the lighter side of life, no matter what other serious things may be going on in your life.
See you tomorrow with a brand new Big Yellow Sticky...
