I have a daily life goal to make Chief laugh. It's the highlight of my endeavors to find something that he will laugh about. His laugh is the greatest sound on the planet. His smile is my favorite thing to look at. His joy fills me with joy, and so this has become something about my life that I work hard to bring him.
So much about life makes us feel worthless. So much about what we experience on a normal Monday afternoon can make us feel beaten down and exhausted. Look with all your might for the hilariousness about it all. Look hard. When you find it, when you find that ridiculous stuff that happens constantly, laugh out loud. Laugh! And then share it with others so that they can laugh too.
I promise you that in the midst of even the worst case scenarios, there is something funny. My life has been filled with a thousand worst-case-scenarios and I have had many, many adventures filled with enough tears to fill the grand canyon. But I've also had enough laughter to give me a six pack. I've had enough smiles to permanently mark my cheeks (laugh lines ROCK!). I've had enough random moments where something completely unexpected caught my eye and made me laugh.
Laughter is incredibly powerful. Even in the middle of a nightmare, laughter brings a strength that helps you to carry on. It is reviving. It is healing. It is my absolute favorite.
So every day I do my absolute best to make people laugh. Because I want to laugh too.
