Reflection on Laughter
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.
--E. E. *******s
One of the true gifts of recovery is that we learn to laugh again. No matter how beat up our spirits have been by our addiction, no matter how heavy or hard our hearts have become, one day we find ourselves laughing. The lightness in our hearts lets us know life is good.
It may happen in a meeting as we suddenly stop taking ourselves so seriously. It may happen as we learn to socialize again and share a joke or score a goal in a group of our new friends. It may happen as we look into the eyes of someone who loves us and our hearts bubble over with joy.
Laughter heals us. It is one of our heart's songs. There is always some in our life, somewhere - and we need only look in order to find it.
Prayer for the Day
Higher Power, please give me something today that will tickle me with joy or humor. Help me give in to the urge to laugh. I know my laughter is music to your ears.
Today's Action
When I notice something to laugh or smile about today, I will share it with others. Humor and joy are meant to be shared.

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Oh yes laughter is WONDERFUL !!! Laughter is what brought my husband and I together years ago when we were just friends....I secretly had a crush on him and he didn't have a clue....but what he did have was a wonderful sense of humor...and you know what he can still make me laugh !!

Chrissy,
My b/f and I laugh daily and I have been dating him for close to 3 years now, it took me many years to find the right guy, but I think I have him now and we often say how lucky we were to find each other and our ability to laugh or make one another do so is one of the best aspects of our relationship
Have a great day!
