LOL

And laugh too

Belly aching laughter

The kind that comes form the soul

And reaches out into the world

The kind that is infectious 

That spreads to everyone 

The kind that makes our cheeks hurt 

From pain and delight at the same time

Laughter is the music of the soul

The release of endorphins that are contagious

Because

Laughter make us feel young

Beautiful and free

Laughter comes from the soul 

Laughter is so healing

Because it allows us to become childlike

Letting go of the carefully cultivated exteriors

To reveal the child that resides on the inside

The one that takes nothing seriously

The one that knows that life is full of ups and downs

Ins and outs

Beginnings and endings

People that come and go

The one that knows

We are foot loose and fancy free

The one that combines laugher with movement

Shaking free of the darkness, the doldrums

When we laugh

When we really laugh

Laugh out loud

From the depths of our souls

My friend reminded yesterday after I wrote about smiling

How important it is to laugh too

And as soon as I read her post

I laughed because

That’s what laughter does

It spreads

Opening one soul which leads to the opening of many souls

When we hear laughter something inside us wants to laugh too

Wants to know what caused the laughter

Because it is a release

A welcome release

One that we must allow ourselves to do

Give ourselves permission 

To find something to laugh at every single day

And see how our outlook on life becomes brighter

More hopeful

And full of faith

Because we know no matter what

No matter how

No matter who

We have the ability to shift

To turn ourselves around

To shut out the darkness

And the negativity

As well as the pestilence

When we laugh

And laugh out loud

Find something today

To laugh at

Even if it is at yourself

At ourselves

Because laughter is the best medicine

The direct path

To being able to love ourselves

Because when we laugh

We honour the place within us

The sacred space

That says I am who I am

And I love myself unconditionally

Laugh

And then you will know what I say to be true

Because laughter liberates

Breaks down boundaries

And gives us peace

So go ahead

Laugh

Laugh out loud

Laugh from the soul

Belly aching

Uninhibited 

Spiritual laughter 

Now don’t you feel better

I know I do
