Laughter is a vital part of our lives. A popular proverb states, “Laughter is the best medicine,” and I couldn’t agree more with that sentiment. When we can laugh, especially when we’re going through a tough time, it can put things in a better perspective. For every up, there’s a down, and there are difficult moments for every great moment. We’re going to experience some tough times during our lives, but we must experience them in full. There will be plenty of time for joy and laughter, even during those tough moments. I first understood this concept when I was attending a family friend’s funeral when I was younger. He passed away in his 40s in a sad accident and left behind five kids and a wife. The entire service was quite somber except for one moment. I was sitting a few rows behind the widow and her kids when the husband’s picture fell from the top of his casket. The mother and kids erupted in laughter. This unexpected laughter was so beautiful and poignant in the middle of the service. It almost felt like it changed the atmosphere in the room. After the service, we talked to the family, and they said the picture falling from the casket was a sign their father was still there with them. He made the picture fall to elicit laughter from them. Being a teenager at that funeral was a surreal experience. I thought it had to be serious and sad, but the laughter coming back into that room provided healing to those affected. As humans, we experience an entire range of emotions. All emotions are good, even though they might not always feel that way. Life is more upbeat if we can find ways to laugh during the good and bad times. My husband and I never miss an opportunity to add more laughter to our lives. We’ll watch romantic comedies or attend a stand-up show if we need a little more laughter or joy. It always seems to do the trick. The next time you feel down, try watching your favorite funny movie or comedian. It will quickly alter your mood for the better!
