Day 19 of Thankfulness: Laughter

Today, I am thankful for laughter. Laughter really is the best medicine in our family. I'm thankful I grew up in a family where we could usually find humor in some of hardest times. And I'm thankful that I married a man who loves to make me laugh and who laughs with me as well.

When I was pregnant, I had several instances where I would just laugh and laugh for a long time...for no reason. It was so hard for me to stop laughing...and of course those times became contagious and others around me would start laughing with/at me. I think it must've been Cora being silly inside my belly, because ever since then she has brought into our lives a new laughter.

Her laugh is so adorable. And if we laugh, she laughs with us. When she gets excited, she usually laughs. When she sees something funny, she usually laughs. She laughs a ton when playing with her daddy in the evenings. And we usually have some good laughs each day. A couple of weeks ago, she would laugh so hard that she would fall down on the floor and put her head down.  I love to make her laugh when she's in the shopping cart at a store and we are waiting in a line. I would much rather her laugh than cry & scream!

I am thankful that we can take the time to smile and laugh everyday.

Ecclesiastes 3:22

²² So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is why we are here! No one will bring us back from death to enjoy life after we die.
