Over the last couple of weeks I have realized that I don't laugh very much. I watch my sweet husband giggle through out the day at several things, and I wonder sometimes why I don't find all of what he finds comical. Why am I so serious all of the time. I have really been pondering this since my sweet new friend Patrice asked me this summer when the last time I really laughed was. Now, I do find things funny at times, I am not a grump or a Scrooge, I just want to have a little more laughter.
Thank you to step-mom who reminded me that as I ponder and think about things that they too are a prayer to the righteous. So I guess according to her I have been praying for more laughter.
Well, the giggle bug hit. I have laughed at people that I noticed are too serious. I have laughed at my little treat in the mail that my father sent me. I have laughed as my son complained about how I pray too long. I have laughed at a text that my dear, good, wonderful friend Peggy sent me. I have laughed at myself playing pool. I have laughed! I am so thankful for a Heavenly Father who would bless me with the ability to laugh.
I remembered this quote from Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley, “The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.”
Sometimes we all take life just too seriously. Let's have a good laugh.
