Live in Laughter


Loosen up and lighten the load set down your briefcase and lose the smartphone try barefoot awhile and give the heels, Stacy Adams a rest. Undo your stifling tie and watch other constraints disappear- become a small child immersed in play and let your own imagination be your whole world... See the cat, wide-eyed jumping about chasing a dust mote devote yourself with such intensity to simple glee or mimic a dog, overcome with joy- it's body a- quiver, tail wagging, bounding, unrestrained revel in sheer fun and forget about money and politics, production and deadlines, appointments and routine lay these aside, if only for a day -for they drag us down. So run through a sprinkler, skip down the sidewalk, get silly and live in laughter.
