What is it about laughter that is so soothing to the soul. There must be some chemical thing going on in a human body during laughter that really works. Personally I feel lighter when I laugh, not just in my soul in the lyrical sense, but also physically. It's like there's a bounce in my steps, an actual weight off.
I miss the type of laughter my best friend of 24 years and I used to have. It was the best ever. Our conversations ended almost always in hysterical laughter, not least because she was so funny, and I so appreciative of humor. That's another thing; I have always been attracted to humor. As another smart best friend of mine puts it, "the power of humor in a relationship is big." I can't agree more; people who can laugh together share undeniably strong chemistry. It's the power of seeing the world similarly...I think.
So when someone cracked me up at work today and I gave in to this feeling of complete surrender to humor I was many pounds lighter. So much more centered, I could reach into the good corners of my mind and let them take over for a good minute. And fly a little.
