Laughter

Who was it that said that laughter was the best medicine? Well, right now I tend to agree. There's just something about letting go and laughing from deep within that lifts my spirits and gives an extra boost to my day.

If you feel like laughing (or just wrinkling your brow in confusion), check out www.foundmagazine.com. It's an online collection of notes that have been found in random places all over the country. Some of the notes remind me of ones that I have confiscated from students.

On a more sobering note, www.postsecret.com is a website that anonymously posts secrets. I often wonder if one of the notes could have been written by someone I know who needs help. It also reminds me that the little things we do and say for people can make such a difference in their lives. We never truly know what someone else is going through or when our words can have a huge impact.

So today, laugh with someone. Share a smile and know that God loves us enough to give us laughter.
