Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Love the ones who don't just because you can.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance,
Grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Kiss slowly.
Forgive quickly.

I was thinking about what makes me laugh and remember the times I have laughed so hard that I streamed milk from my nose or wet my pants. I can't remember what it was that made me laugh but I know I was with people I love and we were enjoying fully the moments we were spending with one another. Of course in both situations the incidents only made us laugh the more.

I did have a great time laughing at my little grandchildren as they learned they could spin in circles only to find they couldn't stand up straight once they stopped spinning. They were very determined little souls and wouldn't give up until they started feeling sick! I don't know where they get their head strong attitudes! LOL!

What makes me laugh? Hearing a child (especially a baby) laughing uncontrollability and roller coasters. I love to scare people. Once Noah had scared me really bad here at work so, I went and hide under his desk and waited for him to come and the jump out when went to sit down. That was fun and funny.

Follow your dreams!!

Except that one where you're naked in church.

When all else fails, laugh! I heard that you need to look back on your week, find your lowest moment and then find something about it to laugh at. So, I am looking back on my week: Our refrigerator broke for the 2nd time in 10 days. I have this wonderful idea to get out of my funk and bake cookies for a good friend that I know is struggling a bit. But I have to go buy ice blocks to put in my freezer to hopefully save some of the food. I'll do it together and kill 2 birds with one stone. Happily I make my cookies, man am I good! Then I ask Emily to drive with me to help me carry the ice blocks. She is 16 and likes to drive, so sure, she is helping me out, I'll let her drive. We put the cookies on the backseat, run to the store, stick our ice blocks in the car and joyfully head off to my friends to deliver my freshly baked cookies. First turn, out of the store, Emily takes with a jerk and I hear a noise that I can only describe as defeat. I knew before I looked, but of course had to see for myself. Yes, the cookies were under the ice block, a nice plate of cookies crumbs peeked out from under the sack. All I could do was laugh. Well, I was out of my funk, not because I actually took cookies to my friend, but because I could laugh at cookie crumbs. I am so grateful to my children who not only teach me to laugh at myself, but sometimes force me to!

What a neat idea to share our experiences and wisdom. We all need our 5 minutes and sometimes 10. As my 6 year old Grandson told me Be Happy, Be Thankful and (my addition) if we have Love, we have everything.
