laughter

Recently, I've really been focusing on letting myself laugh. In fact, this endeavor has made me realize that sometimes your mind can prevent you from enjoying things. Crazy, I know. But truly, sometimes I put my guard up, or I'm so worried about other things that I forget to enjoy what's happening in the precent.

So now I am letting myself laugh. Last night, I went to BINGO with a good friend of mine. We laughed so hard that we were in tears. Today, I taped a funny comic up in my work space.

Not just laughter. I want to smile more. When I was younger, my elementary school teachers would make comments on my report cards like "She smiles so much!" Nowadays, I catch myself walking around almost scowling. How unattractive! So I'm working on that too! Today, I tried to smile at all passerby's on my errands. Smiles are, after all, contagious.

I'm going to keep working hard on this... One little thing at a time. C'est la vie.
