I laughed so hard today and it was joyous.
What was I laughing about? My sister used the Animoji feature during a Facetime call. Silly, I know but it was the best thing I saw today, and I couldn’t stop laughing. Obviously, having conversations with family and friends over Houseparty, Zoom, Facetime or whatever channel, is the new norm, and today, I caught up with my family and scheduled more calls for the weekend with friends over a beverage of sorts. A good several hours of happiness to brighten the day, regardless of whatever the timezone and what the weather is doing, can only be good for the soul. Am I right? or AM I RIGHT!?
Some might say we shouldn’t be laughing. But, I disagree. Laughter, regardless of the season, is a good thing. It allows the body to relax, reduces stress and is contagious. This article by the Chopra Centre goes into more detail about why laughter is important to the body, and during these uncertain times, I think it is even more important to do so!
So, today I am grateful for friends and family that I can laugh with, over a glass of wine or over something as silly as Animoji.
What has brought laughter into your home over the last few weeks? Do you have a funny story to share?
