How long has it been since you did something really silly?  On purpose, I mean :-) One way to have more laughs is to do something that’s just plain outrageous, to have some goofy fun.  One thing about laughing is that you usually need somebody else to do it with.  We need other people in our lives to help carry the load but also to share a laugh with. My encouraging word to you is that you need to develop a sense of humor because without it you will not enjoy your life.  And you do have a life even though it may take you a while to get back on track, your life is there waiting for you.  Waiting to hear your laughter and waiting for you to notice the joy your friends and family still have to give you. Sometimes I don’t find the joy and laughter but it finds me.  It’s just plain fun to go around speaking for different groups and conferences.  I always come away from these meetings feeling like I’ve received more than I have given.  More often than not I have shared a laugh with a new friend. I read somewhere that we need to face our problems by looking for the flowers, not the weeds.  I know that it isn’t always that easy, but finding happiness and laughter has to start somewhere and I believe a positive attitude will help you laugh again.
