Did you have children around you during the holiday? I hope you did. Their laughter is infectious and with such abandonment. It is delightful! We had our adorable little granddaughters, age 3 and 5, around us on Christmas. And, as they opened presents, tearing apart the wrapping paper, their giggles and wide-eyed expressions of joy made us laugh and smile right along with them.
Children can teach us to laugh more often. Laughter is healthy. It keeps us young, and recent medical reports verify this.
If you've forgotten how to laugh or have forgotten how to look at life with joy, find some children to play with. Yes, play. Get on the floor with them and play a game. Do something silly and discover their delight in the world around you.
The Road to Laughter Town
Would ye learn the road to Laughter Town,
O ye who have lost their way?
Would ye have a young heart though your hair be gray?
Go learn from a little child each day,
Go serve his wants and play his play,
And catch the lilt of his laughter gay,
And follow his dancing feet as they stray;
For he knows the road to Laughter Town,
O ye who have lost their way. --Katherine D. Blake
May you find your way to Laughter Town.
Stay happy & healthy,
Donna
