I LOVE that quote by Abraham Lincoln. It says so much. Think about this quote "seven days without laughter makes one WEAK". Or this scripture in Proverbs 17:22 "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine". WHAT WOULD LIFE BE LIKE WITHOUT LAUGHTER?
As I've been working on my personal history and sorting through all my memories... the best ones were the times that I was laughing with my family. I don't really remember the clothes that I wore, how many toys that I had, or how much money we had. But the memories that stick with me WERE THE ONES WHERE I LAUGHED.
We've recently started keeping a paper on our fridge and writing down all the funny things that people say. I love it! It's such a wonderful thing when I'm feeling down to go and read some of the funny things that have been said. for example:
sister: dang it stay there!
me: uh, did you just say something?
sister: oh sorry, I was just talking to the popcorn. don't you ever talk to your food?
me: oh all the time (sarcasticly - said in a southern accent) "oh you nasty little peanut butter, get off that spoon!"
that may not be very funny to you, but we laughed quite heartily at that. It's times like that that bring our family closer together and as a bonus, they lift our spirits! I LOVE TO LAUGH!
