Laughter

The power of laughter:

 

Vibrant- full of life, energy, and warmth.

 

Communal- expressive of shared enjoyment.

 

Cross-cultural- it can happen with anyone, anywhere.

 

Honest- there isn't much room for duplicity or selfish motives.

 

Appreciative- if it is laughing with someone, then it is affirming their sense of humor or storytelling or something else that made you laugh.

 

Healing- "a cheerful heart brings life to the bones," and there is no better prescription for cheerfulness than laughter.

 

Isn't it great when you laugh so hard that your abs hurt and your eyes tear up and your face turns red and you've almost forgotten what was so funny, but everyone around you keeps laughing and then you laugh at each other and then you start to think you're all crazy…
