Learning to laugh
 

Learning to laugh makes the universe fall away.
Kay Caskey

Laughter gives us a different perspective. It is the great healer of spirits and hearts and it dissolves barriers between ourselves and others. When we laugh with another human being we build bridges instead of walls. Laughter helps us close the distance in our relationships.

Laughter relaxes us from the ground up. Sometimes it is only after a good laugh that we realize how much tension we were carrying. It's like putting down a heavy load and sighing with relief at how light we feel.

Laughter even strengthens our immune system and promotes healing. It boosts our self-esteem and emotional well-being.

Laughter is a true friend. Sometimes we forget to invite it into daily life, but we delight in welcoming it back.

Today let me realize the healing qualities of laughter in my life.
