It feels good when I start laughing.
I used to think that laughter was frivolous and silly. Now, I understand that laughter is an essential part of living well.
Laughter brings balance to our lives. It is a reaction to the absurd. It is something we can share with others to connect. Laughter is love, and laughter is communication.
Laughing keeps me staying sane in a crazy world. Laughing makes sense of things.
I am a better person when I laugh. Laughter reminds me of my humanity and connection to others; it reminds me that I am in good company in my struggle.
Laughter helps me connect to other human beings. I feel compassion for those less fortunate than myself.
I share a common bond with people who suffer through pain, fail, and keep moving forward. When I smile, I am reminded that I am alive. When I laugh, I am reminded I get to live another day!
I laugh with my friends, my family, and new people I meet. I will love myself, and I laugh as much as possible.
Today, I will celebrate the humor in life and the fact that I am here. I smile and breathe with ease. Today, I can laugh as I walk down the street, laugh with people I see or meet, and share a smile. Today, I am joining the community with laughter.
