Laughter

I love laughing. Last Friday, I had some friends over at my apartment. A few of us have started a "dinner group" where we all take turns making dinner for everyone else in the group. This last time around it was my friends turn, but he lacks a kitchen so we cooked at my place.

And it was great fun. We ate good food and joked and laughed during dinner. After dinner we had a "girls night" ...kind of. We invited the boys to stay, even though it was boys causing the problems. However, I have the best guy friends on the planet, they let us put mud masks on them and we watched a chick flick, at chocolate and junk food and stayed up laughing and talking and joking until 2 in the morning when I made them all leave so they didn't get parking tickets.

I don't remember the last time I laughed that long and that hard. It was so much fun. The same thing happened the next night when we had a real girls night, we had every intention of making a nice dinner; but we were so tired that we just bought a hot and ready pizza and watched youtube videos and laughed our heads off at some of the dumbest things i have ever witnessed.

I forgot the magic of laughter, how it just can make pain less painful. It's so hard to laugh through the tears sometimes, but when you can life just gets better. It's a little sunnier, brighter.

Sometimes just a good laugh will give you enough strength for one more day.
