I Couldn’t Stop Laughing

Here I was sitting at the dining room table with Clara trying to eat dinner. I say try, because Clara was in stitches. I was getting the giggles too.

She’s always been a jokester. After she began speaking just a mere few words, Clara would intentionally mispronounce them and giggle. Now, her imagination is hilarious. Wordplays take her into worlds of sounds that don’t make sense – except that they rhyme.

I was tired yesterday evening after staying up longer than usual the night before. And so she had me where she wanted me – in stitches and playing along.

I’m glad I fell prey to her humor.

Any tension left over from the day dissipated into, well the giggles. I wish I could record her laughing – if we were eager to get her into Hollywood, she’d probably be a winner. But that’s not our plan.

Laughing sounds are part of any total health package. Mozart loved to giggle. His good humor got him through some pretty rough times and kept his music deeply beautiful. Mark Twain hinted that laughter has a mystical quality about it when he said ‘The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.’

My greatest friends and mentors all have that one thing in common – they love to laugh wholeheartedly.

Add a lightness of feeling to your daily palate. Coupled with illuminating sound you’ll have yourself feast of relaxation.

Warm Regards,

P.S. A good laugh is like a ray of sunshine. Most people are cast under its spell. Try laughing next time you get angry and watch the magic unfold. Same magic happens when you listen to joyful music.
