Laughter – Day 5
June 23, 2017
What makes you laugh? I love slapstick humor and really dumb stuff, like the Ernest movies, when he kept getting marker all over his face while on jury duty. The harder he would try to stop doing it, the more marker he would get on himself.
People who have a sense of humor about their flaws and mistakes make me laugh. “I know there’s a value in every relationship we’ve been in. And I can see the value in most of mine—even the worst,” a friend explained. “But that particular one, hard as I try, I just can’t find the value, unless it’s ‘Don’t be with someone who repulses you.’”
What tickles you?
Action: Who in your life makes you laugh? Enjoy them. What movies and TV shows make you laugh? Watch them. What books, radio shows, or jokes lighten you? Don’t go to sleep at night until you’ve had at least one good laugh each day. If you can’t find anything funny right now in your life, let yourself remember a time or experience that was funny.
