At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities. ~Jean Houston


Have you ever wondered how we become so serious as adults? We start out incredibly thrilled with world around us. It's a fun, funny, adventurous place that we are totally excited about. And then, before long, we end up just a little bummed out and dissappointed with life. Children are totally free to laugh. I think that's why I love photographing them so much. They remind me that the world around me hasn't really changed that much. It's still a wonderful place, full of possibility.So, as of today, in this blog post, I encourage you to laugh. It's cool, no one is watching. You can laugh. Think of the funniest TV show or your favorite movie, or even better something that happened to you recently that made you laugh. Did you try it? If you didn't you shouldn't go to another website until you do. If you did, see how much better you feel? It put you in a totally different and better state than you were in. Can you imagine how our lives would be different if we took time to laugh like this little girl everyday?

Great post and important reminder! Sometimes I feel like I never grew up and love to just be playful and abounding with joy. Yet the pressures and tragedies in life often bring me down, and circumstances will, many times, require sober thinking and serious responses. But how important it is to balance it all out with some great fun and hearty laughter!!

You did force me at margarita point! But, I'm glad you did. Wow, time really does fly. It doesn't seem like it's been a year...
