“Today I toast happiness”

Brightening a weird day is sometimes all I need. This kind of weather and season needs some brightening around me – and I am sure that you have the same sense.

Let me start with some silly stuff… you likely have heard them before…

As we drove away from the problem we began to laugh. It started as a giggle when we remembered how funny the lady looked. It broke into a full laugh when we thought of how foolish the man beside her looked. Then we bean slapping our legs as tears poured down our face as we thought of what happened next….

One of the best reasons that I know of that explains my lack of belief in Evolution is that no animal I know or have ever met… laughs.

But then again when you join into the world that you are part of – and no one laughs… your are either with animals… or some really impossible people.

Come on brighten up!

Yesterday at a Senior’s group I belong to – called “New Friends” people laughed and giggled the hours a way. They were fun to be with.
Some had religious background others have never been inside a church (at least for a long time) – yet they were happy.

“Today I toast happiness”. I appreciate a good giggle. I long for a hearty laugh.

Now if you have nothing to laugh at … look in a mirror… that is what God sees… and really… it is funny…very funny the way he put you together… and the fact that someone loves the one in the mirror… that is not only funny – but a miracle.
