laughter

Grabbed a Truth of Life book and was reading a chapter on laugher.

There's a part where Munetada Kurozumi says we must ensure that the Sun Goddess within us is kept full, and not eclipsed all the time. When positive principles becomes weak in us, the negative principle becomes ascendant. When the negative wins out, there is contamination, a state in which vitality has dried out. If you spend your days thankfully, everything will turn out wonderfully. If your mind gets gloomy it will be difficult for you to get ahead in the world. You must do your best to fill yourself with feelings of spring as you devote yourself to your task.

Laughter doesn't make just the person who laughs healthy and happy. Cheerful people spread happiness and good health wherever they go. Pleasant humor, clever witticism, innocent nonsense, a roar of laughter are forms of good natural medicine. They lubricate points of friction between people's minds and offer relief as we tread the steep and difficult paths of life. They are medicine you should take in an even greater quanity when you are exhausted by the battles of life.

That is so true for me, I find when there is alot of stressful things going on I have to stop and do something that will make me laugh. I've said many times I'm a big Tyler Perry fan, his movies and tv shows have helped me in so many wonderful ways. I watched Gran Tarino the other day, it was totally not what I expected. Clint Eastwood's character had me laughing.
Working with children makes me laugh all the time. They amaze me with the things they come up with. I have one little boy T, when T dances it is the most hilarious and precious sight. He has such a determined look on his face. Plus the way he talks is equally funny.

Ever heard that the enviroment you are around affects you profoundly? Yep that is true for me. I was doing very well with keeping upbeat and positive. Then when my bf and I got together things changed. I had to recognize what it was doing to me and stop it. I can let his moods affect me in a negative way or I can choose to create my own mood despite his cranky butt. I've found when I don't let him get to me and I'm still my playful goofy self, his moods lightens alot.

There are quite a few movies out that I want to go see, they look funny and I think I need a good dose of laughter.

Off to do my hair, hope you have a great weekend, be blessed
