Laughter ...still the best medicine

I have always heard "Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone"

Its true .As a kid I needed no reason to breaks into peals of laughter or giggle uselessly .I was a happy child and everything gave me reason to laugh..From Pj's and customary chat/gossip sessions with the family,to mimicing and impersonating others,sharing secrets with close freinds,reading joke books to myself,playing with dolls,going for picnics,doing any and all fun stuff ...I think children are like that .They feel happy with small things and their world is truly miniscule .Their joy needs and knows no bounds ..

Fast forward many many years ............to today's world ...my world..where problems-real,imaginary and self inflicted abound and have taken away the simple pleasures of life ...Everyone including me is sceptical,worried and apprehensive of what lies ahead.

Laughter now resides somewhere in the deep crevices of my being and resurfaces from time to time but with much coaxing ...and not with the child like abandon it once did ...I smile but need comedy clubs ,cocktails,"the tonight show with Jon Stewart" and sometimes even "freinds" to unleash my funny,uninhibited side ..too much, just too much on the mind ...

Reconnecting to the child in me would be good,the child who once,not only laughed herself but infected all around her with it,laughing till her sides seemed like they would split .

Yes it would be good ..Wouldnt it? So Laugh ,PEOPLE!!
