Laughter On The Journey

 

This getting your life back together, setting goals and being accountable is serious stuff!

That being said, Laughter plays a very important role along the way, and one of the new skills I have picked up is a genuine ability to laugh at myself. I found the following quote and reading a good reminder:

The most useless day of all is that in which we have not laughed.
--Sebastian R. N. Champort

“We are told that laughter is sunshine filling a room. And where there is laughter, there also is life. They say that people who laugh a lot live longer than do the sour-faced. When we laugh together, gratitude comes more easily, companionship thrives, and all praise is sincere. Laughter brings us joy that cannot be bought. Such joy is with us throughout each day. To hoard joy, to hide it away deep within us away from others, will make us lonely misers. We cannot buy or trade for joy, but we can give or receive it as a gift.

Laughter's joy celebrates the moment we are living right now. It is a gift we must share, or it will wither and die. Shared, it grows and thrives, and always returns to us when we need it most.”-anonymous.

As I go through Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the abundant laughter that graces my life, at me, at funny stories and situations, but hopefully never to the detriment of others! May each of us enjoy a good laugh today!

It definitely amazed me when I first started going to meetings,how much true laughter there was in the rooms.I had assumed that everybody would be somber,depressed,unhappy.Instead,most of the time they (and I) were laughing at some of the worst points in our lives.I like it that way a lot more than the other.

Peace,Donovan

I love this....genuine laughter is one of the most wonderful blessings of this new life....nothing like a good laugh! That's what I love, love, love about meetings....recognition of one's self in others' (and my own) shares, and then the laughter which erupts in the room....priceless!!!!!

Love and Peace
Angela
