So this week is a free for all. So I encourage you to share anything and everything from recipes to the latest projects you are working on. Most of all we just want to have fun.

So here is my first thoughts for the week.

We talked last week about what brings you joy. Is it the sunrise or that first cup of coffee in the morning? Is it the changing of the leaves on the trees or the way the sun shines in your windows ? I noticed last night one of the other joys I have found is the sound of laughter.
The bible tells us that a merry heart doeth good like medicine or in other terms laughter is the best medicine. Laughter is contagious. Prime example my girls are 15, 11, & 8. They each are in different stages of there lives, but they each can find some common ground in laughter. They laugh about things I think are absolutely stupid or silly. Yet they will get to laughing so hard that I have to laugh with them (especially since one of the has a tendency to fart when she laughs hard enough). The sound of their laughter eases my soul. It also reminds me that I let to many of life's complications steal my laughter from me. Oh how good it feels to laugh silently or out loud. In that moment you are laughing all the sorrow, pain, and anxiety just melts away.
Without laughter our lives can become boring and sad. So I challenge you today, tomorrow, and next week to reclaim your laughter. Laugh from deep down in your soul. Laugh so hard you are crying.
