"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine."
- Lord Byron
There is nothing like a good, hearty belly laugh to brighten your mood.
Sometimes, if I go to long without a good laugh I can feel it weighing me down.

Not laughing. Not fun. |
I truly believe that the main purpose in life is to be happy.

That's better! |
If you are not happy...than what is it really all for?
If that is not the case...you have some inner work to do.
Looking to children for inspiration always helps me.

A simple game of peek-a-boo with a blanket turned into many laughs for my boys. |
They have the innocence and a natural sense of wonder that makes happiness inherent and unencumbered by the stresses that us adults have to endure.

Me and my little Drew sharing some fun and laughter! |
Of course, there are some kids that have to go through immense sorrow and pain due to things such as abuse, troubles in the home, bullying, etc. But I am talking here about children in their natural state...in general.
Laughter is fun!

Me and Noah sharing a chuckle. If anyone in this world can make me smile it is him! |
Try doing something spontaneous and fun with your kids and see how you feel during and after.

Guaranteed to make you laugh! Canadian comedians are the best eh!?!? |
Try sharing a few jokes with a friend.

Me with my friend Christine having fun |
And try smiling even if you are not smiling on the inside. It does help. I do it all the time.
So look for opportunities to laugh.
It is contagious!
You will probably notice that those around you will be laughing right along with you.
