When you find something so funny and you laugh from the bottom of your gut to the smile on your face. And the entire time you are thinking I haven't felt this good in a long time. I want more. That energy is magnificent. It is raw and pure and sincere.
Think about the last time you laughed, so hard. Or the last time you made someone else laugh hard.
Serious 'grown up' mode is important and there is a place for it. But why are some of us laughing less? The laughter is far and few in between. Have we forgotten how to be lighthearted? Let's shift the energy to something less serious.
I can make my boys giggle with sarcasm. Teasing them goes a long way. And any reference to poop, boogers, bugs and farts gets them started in a fit of sillies. I watch and learn when each of my boys finds something so hysterically funny that they laugh uncontrollably. They each absorb their own world a little differently, but always find that happy, light place. This is why their loving aunt sends large Poop Emoji pillows in the mail for them on Christmas. This is what happens when you shout you want 'POOP' for Christmas! Poop is Funny. We love our poop pillows!
Happy Translates to Love.
More Laughter, More Happiness, More Love.
less laughter, less happiness, less love.
Healthy Life Balance = A Nourished Soul

And than he made up where he heard it from. Kids keep us light and open to new things.
John and I recently went for a couples massage as a belated B-day gift for me. I was willing to skip it, but being the good husband he is, he made sure we followed through on our original Birthday plans. I told him we had to go as a couple, that I would not get a massage without him. I had never done a couples massage before. He was reluctant, he admitted he only had 2 massages in his life and both were with a 'dude.' "I always gets a 'Dude!" I assured him that would not be the case. Of course he'd get a woman. And worse case, I'd take 'The Dude' We booked our appointment after carefully reading over the list of services and I waited in the main lobby for John to finalize the details. John walks over to me, looks me in the eyes and states very matter of fact, "I got the "Dude." The only one available to do a 'Deep Tissue'. Life has a funny way of crashing the funny right down on us.
As we lay on our massages tables together, waiting for our masseuses, we laughed wholeheartedly.
