Gravity grounds us

But laughter makes our hearts soar

The world needs both

Thanks Jules for prompting us to recall the last time we laughed. There is such a spectrum. From the chuckle to the belly laugh. Laughter is humanity’s oxygen....

Isn't that the best...the variety of laughs. :) I love that my children give me so much to laugh about. Enjoy your day and thank you for responding with another great haiku.

I'm subscribed to a newletter on here from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

And this conversation between my husband and I about the newsletter made me laugh:

One of the latest conversations between my husband and I:

Me (looking at a video from a newseltter by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)- Husband's name, look at this video of a squirrel.

Husband- I think that's a flying squirrel.

Me- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said in his newsletter that it was a squirrel. And if that's good enough for him, then it's good enough for me.

And way too soon, like me now, your belly laughs will come from your “grand” children. Savor every precious, irreplaceable moment Jules. Time truly flies…

Thank you for this Clark. I hear this a lot and I'm noticing. My Delaney girl will be turning 9 on Friday! I can't believe it. Time comes quick.

I laugh every day at something, like the Downy woodpecker on the hummingbird feeder or the rabbit in the back yard. Many things on TV too! Even watching the squirrels chase each other away from the bird seed.

Children ask me to "Do the Party"

So I plug in the light that spins colors all over the room and play their favorite, "Gummy Bear". And we ALL laugh!
