I Laugh, Every Single Time I Can
03/29/2016


I have a very hearty laugh, like you do.  When I was young, I was scolded by teachers who told me it was impolite as well as not very ladylike to laugh as I did.  

When my grandmother was on her deathbed, she told me that she had always loved my laugh, and that I laughed loudly and fully without worrying what others thought.  She told me in her day, young ladies weren't allowed to laugh out loud.  She also mentioned that there wasn't much to laugh about in her life, and she would have loved to be able to laugh like me.  She made me promise that I would never change my laugh, nor silence it because of what others said.  That was over 25 years ago.  

So, in her honor, I laugh....every single time I can.  I laugh loudly, heartily, and I laugh every day.  I laugh with my children, my grandchildren, and my husband and I laugh with each other every day.  

The world needs a lot more laughter.  I will continue doing my part, and I hope you do the same!

Chris
