My New Year's resolution this year is to LAUGH more.
I did not make this resolution because I didn’t laugh before but because I
find that if I am aware of laughter I laugh more.
Laughter is good for both the body and the soul.
I plan to seek out things to make me laugh just like I seek out beauty and inspiration.
I want to take more time for silly things, silly movies, I wish I was clever enough to say
things to make others laugh.

I have found that some of the strongest people I know are those that face life’s ups and downs with a smile on their face.
I don’t think it is because their heart hurts less, I think it is because their
choose a different path to get through the bumpy parts.

and bubbles all around" Carolyn Birmingham

Laughter...the best medicine. I agree with you! Also singing out loud, no matter how you sound.

I agree! We all could use more laughter in our lives. Laugh loud and laugh often!!
Yes, more laughter in our world would cure many ills! This is a wonderful resolution. I'm going to put a post-it on my board that reads LAUGHTER.
Hugs!

This is a great post Louise and laughter is so important!!! Isn't a belly laugh wonderful? I don't have those very often, but when I do, it's such a stress reliever and so cleansing. I hope you have lots of silly, fun, happy, laughable moments this year!!!!
Smiles, Betzie
Louise, what a wonderful post! Laughter is really good for the soul.

Happy New year Louise, I also agree with you. We were at the Health clinic yesterday for our flu shots and up on the wall there was a poster. Stay Healthy: exercise, eat well and laugh often.
Hugs Karen
What a great resolution Louise! I'll join you! I think all ladies up here have excellent suggestions! I'll be thinking of you at least once a day and laugh, ok? Love the photo of your daughter and her friend. They sure know how to make fun!
GREAT POST LOUISE!!
Your daughter and her friend exude joy and happiness! Laughter is a true gift! Even medically it has been proven to help heal the sick. You have lit the torch and I will grab your torch and be on the ready for a laugh.
Not necessary funny but good, have you seen the movie: It's Complicated? A good one!
Hugs and a smile with crinkling eyes to you!

I hope you've been laughing much this year :)
Yes, DO laugh more! A worthy resolution, one which will spread to those around you. Nothing like a good flat-out belly laugh to put things right in my little world.
