Mary’s Minute
“Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and
laughing feels better right now.”
~ Veronica Roth
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the
thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the
most important thing in a person.”
~ Audrey Hepburn
When I think of life’s gifts one of the greatest may be the
ability to laugh. I love the Veronica
Roth quote because we all have had times in our life that we don’t know whether
to laugh or cry. Sometimes our brains do
not give us the chance to choose, and tears just start flowing. Given the choice, laughter is certainly a
better option. There is evidence that
supports the notion that laughter truly does help cure ills. Laughing really can make us physically feel
better! As we go about our daily lives, it is great if
we can find humor in life, we will be healthier and happier. If we can laugh at ourselves we are even
better off. I am happy to make people
laugh – it is best if they can laugh with me, but I will settle for people
laughing at me. The important thing is
that we laugh. Diana Jones is a
beautiful example of someone who loves laughter. With Diana’s retirement, we will miss the
sound of her contagious laughter in the first grade hallway. Laughing does not mean that we do not take
life seriously. It just means that we
choose to be happy and spread happiness.
Have a great week!
Mary
