In Others’ Words: What a Laugh Can Do

It’s been a week where my emotions have teetered-tottered back and forth — up, down, up down. I never quite hit the ground hard … I always found a way to push myself back up into the air again — up, up, up. But then I’d get that sinking-back-down sensation again.

I never was a fan of teeter-totters.

This week has not been unbearable.There’s been no reason for tears. Even so, laughter has made it easier — helped lift my spirits up,up, up when they’ve wanted to droop down. 

Savoring the giggles of my GRANDgirl.
Sharing a laugh with my teenager and husband while we watched comedian Brian Regan unravel real life.
Relishing the humor in my son’s debut novel, Enter the Janitor –and urban fantasy about cleaners who eradicate impurities from the universe. (Yes, you read that right.)

If I had to say why I’ve teetered-tottered this past week, I’d say my resiliency meter was low. And yes, there are reasons for that. But laughter is powerful. As Bob Hope says, laughter can transform situations … laughter can transform us.

In Your Words: How’s your week gone? What’s caused you to laugh this week? What transforms your tough or unbearable situations?
