One of my favorite things about getting together with family and friends is the laughter we share when we're together. Just being able to sit back, relax, and share an hour or two is good for the soul.
The laughter of a child is an infectious excitement, sending you back in time to easier, worry free days and working a slow smile into the faces of all those blessed ones who hear it.
"A good laugh is sunshine in a house."
"With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come." ~Shakespeare Some of my favorite photos are ones in which people are caught laughing. When you look at it, the sound of their laughter fills your ears, and you smile too.
Ah, siblings. A merry-go-round of pranks, fights, fun, joy, pain, and competition, pushed 'round by love and loyalty. I love all of my brothers and sisters: blood, steps, in-laws, and friends close enough they should be counted as such.
"The world has grown suspicious of anything that looks like a happily married life."~O. Wilde
I am so thankful for my crazy, goofy, faithful, loving husband. It's been a tough year for me in some ways, but he was there to hold me till the pain eased and I could laugh again. "You make me smile like the sun..." He's the best.
Life just isn't as fun without a bit of silliness in it. Thank you to all the people who made me smile in 2010.
Hooray for a happy 2010 and here's to a wonderful 2011! xoxo
