Laughter is the Best Medicine

If you have read this week's blog entries, you already know that this has been a rough week.  I was more than ready for a slow-paced Saturday and had just that.  I enjoyed working on lesson plans, walking the trail behind my house with my step-daughter, and spending time with my husband.  The highlight of the day was definitely dinner.

My husband and I decided to treat his girls to dinner at a locally-owned restaurant. We were seated quickly and promptly engaged in lighthearted conversation.  I don't even really remember what we talked about, just that we laughed...a lot.  Great big belly-laughs that start with a loud burst and then dissolve in silent shoulder-shaking and teary-eyed pointing and mimicking whatever was funny, the big inhale followed by a steady rhythm of laughs that taper off into giggles.  I'm sure other patrons of the restaurant were entertained by the goings-on at our table.  After all, laughter is contagious, right?

  1. Anyone can easily make me laugh. I like watching Big Bang Theory because of their antics. And I LAUGH at some silly jokes even at restaurants. Keep it up. Enjoy the moment where you can forget the worries, even just for a little while.

  3. That sounds like the perfect antidote to a difficult week. I hope you can go into the new week refreshed.

  4. When I think of you-I think of your smile and then your laugh. What could be better?
