laughter

Laughter really is the best medicine.  After work I met friends, who are also co-workers, for drinks and dinner and oh how we laughed!  It was the kind of laughter that never subsides because just as we were settling down from one story, another was being told.  And it was the kind of laughter that blocks out all those around you, so we weren't looking around feeling embarrassed, and we weren't trying to stifle the laughter.  We were not being obnoxious, but we were having fun.  I couldn't even tell you now everything we talked and laughed about, but I still feel really good.  I don't understand people who don't want to laugh, who refuse to find the humor in a situation, or think everything should be so serious.  Sometimes dumb things are really funny!  Sometimes a difficult situation is, when you step back from it, really kind of funny.  So I wish you laughter, even at the most difficult times, may something make you smile, and if times are really very bad, when you can laugh again know it will be a beautiful song that those who love you will be longing to hear.
