THE END

I neglected to journal this earlier - I don't know why.  I made it 30 days with lots of laughs.  Some were certainly more genuine than others, but each day had at least one laugh.  I think more than the actual laughing I am slowly but surely understanding that there is a bright side to pretty much everything, and that, well, I just need to LIGHTEN UP!

DAY 23

Where did the days go?  I am happy to report (she says with a chuckle) that Christmastime was a GREAT time to set this goal.  I have found opportunities for laughter every day in every day laugh -- not to mention a few Christmas movies (have you seen Elf? . . . seriously . . . )

 Coming up on this last week will be the hardest, I know.  The kids are back in school, my list of things to do is long, and let's face it, January is kind of a "let down" for a month after a fun holiday December.  Just kinda blah.  I hate taking down the Christmas decorations, and I hate feeling guilty for breaking my New Year's Resolutions on January 2.  So, I will really have to focus to get the laughs in this week.  Wish me luck!

Day 3 (and 4)

So, on Day 3 I got a freebie.  It was company party time, so 13 folks sitting around a table eating dinner -- it was inevitable that something funny was said, and I laughed out loud.  Hard.  It felt great.  And though my success was the result of someone else's small, yet hilarious, failure, I am still glad I laughed.  (And who wouldn't laugh?  After all, she thought the alcohol was "cooked out" of her dessert, but she had ordered ice cream!)

I am also happy to report that earlier in the day I was able to laugh at something my son said.  Without going into details, it involved a five-year-old boy who thought he had two small bras on his chest.  That one got a good outloud laugh.

Today, Day 4, I feel a little bit sad, so I know I will have to work extra hard to find the humor in life.  But I can do it.  Someone, somewhere, something, is just dying to make me laugh, I know it!

DAY 2

So, surprisingly, this is harder than I thought.  I don't work full time, so I have to find things to laugh out loud about amidst the day-to-day routine of child care and homemaking.  I realized as I sat down to relax after the kids were in bed tonight that I hadn't laughed out loud all day.  Luckily, we watched a decently funny flick and I found a giggle or two.  Surely there is humor in my everyday life that I missed today.  I will look for it tomorrow.
