Laughter is the Best Medicine

Nights are sometimes a little more difficult for me.  My nerves get over stimulated from a full day and they begin to signal me that they need to rest.  I try to stay positive and remind myself that I will be re-energized after a good night’s sleep.  However, sometimes it seems impossible to hide the pain I am in because of my facial expressions. 

A couple of nights ago, this exact scenario played out.  As I sat on the couch, I heard my phone “ding” that a text message had been received.  As I glanced over to the coffee table to pick up my iPhone, I saw that someone had sent me a picture.  I opened up the text and burst out laughing.  My husband, who was currently sitting on the other couch, had sent me a picture of us from Christmas time last year.  However, he had switched our heads so now my head rested on a big, muscular guy, and his head sat on a girl wearing a Team Jacob shirt!  As we laughed with each other, it reminded me that laughter is the best medicine.  Whether it is talking to a friend, watching a comedy, or reading a funny story, I am going to be more intentional to find the humor in life.

What makes you laugh?  Work on making someone else laugh today!
