Thankful Thursday #9

Today I am thankful for laughter. Laughter is one of the things that I am most grateful with in life. I love to laugh. I love to hear other people laugh. I love to hear my students laugh. I love to hear my nieces laugh. I love how a good laugh can brighten the grayest day. It can make a great day even better. I love how laughing at the stupid things I do helps me to feel less embarassed.

Ashley and I are starting to collect pictures to put on our fridge. We are not going to put normal pictures up, just ones that make us smile and laugh, so that we see them each day. These pictures will be going on the fridge for sure:

"What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul"
~Yiddish Proverb

"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterwards."
~Kurt Vonnegut

I have been very blessed to be surrounded by people who make me laugh and laugh with me. I have a job that gives me opportunities every day to smile and giggle. It is a rare day when I don't laugh until my sides hurt. Laughter is a glorious thing!

"Laughter is an instant vacation"
~Milton Berle

Those are all pretty great pictures! What an interesting family we have :) I love the idea of putting them on your fridge. I also love to laugh. What a great blessing it is to be able to laugh.

I too think it's awesome that you're filling up your fridge with only funny pictures. :) I find that sometimes I'm too serious of a person, and don't realize until I'm finally laughing how much I really NEED that. So I'm glad that you get the chance to laugh on such a regular basis. :)
