And We Laughed

Well, we had our lunch and, as predicted, we laughed and laughed over one thing or another all through it. It must come from the happiness we feel inside when we're together because none of us is a particularly funny person...at least not intentionally.

The best laughter is what we hear from a child. There used to be some sort of toy recording and that's all you heard, a child laughing and giggling, and it made you feel so darned good. You couldn't help but smile and laugh right along with the recording.

They say that laughter will extend your lifespan and I believe that. If you're happy enough to laugh it affects your whole body. Joy, in any form, heals you from within.

If laughter makes us live longer then Faye, Mary, and I should live to be 100. I picked up a birthday card for Faye from Mary and me which said that we'd still all be friends if we lived to be 88. Darned if silly Mary didn't accidently buy the same card to give to me from her and Faye. That was one of the things that had us laughing today.

My word of wisdom on this birthday is: laughter and a glass of wine is the best medicine.

Happy birthday Auntie Pat. So glad to hear about your lovely lunch. It seems easier to laugh, with others and at ourselves, when know we are loved. And we love you.
