I am a firm believer that laughter, happiness, sorrow and depression can not live in the same vessel at the same time. There is no way. I challenge you to think back to the last time you felt so good, that the corners of your mouth almost touched your cheeks. Think back to the last time you laughed until the pain in your side made you say “Whew” Those were good times right?

Whenever you are feeling less that happy, think back to those tummy tickling times and get lost in that feeling.

We all have those days when sadness takes over. Sadness is an emotion that is a part of life but we must keep going and push past it.

One moment not too long ago that caused me to smile was a conversation I had with my 3 year old daughter. It went like this…

ME: Sweetie will you tell mommy a story?

HER: ok mommy.

ME: I want a happy story, not a sad or scary one.

HER: Ok mommy. (i could feel her slight annoyance lol)

HER: Once upon a time there was a big spider.

ME: Baby I said not a scary story. I’m afraid of spiders.

HER: I know mommy. I was talking about a fake one so you won’t be scared.

All I could do was sit there and smile at her. Her sweetness and innocence makes me happier than happier and she has no idea of what she does for me.

Comment down below and tell me about the last thing that made you happy. What has caused a Cheshire cat smile to appear on your face?

Who knows, there could be someone who comes across these words and they pull them out of a dark and gloomy place.

Laughter is definitely the best medicine.

Let’s write the prescription.
