giggling

I just want to write this post to cheer or encourage anyone who is presently going through hard times, which could be any of us personally. Everyday on the news there is nothing but bad news, the economy going down hill, so many people losing their jobs, have no money, the mortgage problems, people losing their homes etc. It seems like we are surrounded by nothing but negative information, all gloom that makes you feel like crying. All this sad news, besides dealing with our own problems is really depressing and we can walk around sad everyday.  

But we forget that no matter how bad things are, we still have the ability to smile, laugh, or giggle about life. This is testimony that Life was supposed to be Happy, because that ability to enjoy life, to smile, giggle and laugh is always present no matter what is happening around us. And it has  nothing to do whether we have many material things, or not. Depression is found among the extremely rich, while some dirt poor people find humor and laughter in life.

 We just have to tap into it and it is right there to cheer us up! I have found myself giggling even at funerals in the grave yard, (you won’t believe it) at the strange way some people were howling, loudly blowing their noses, and carrying on at a funeral. Don’t tell me if somebody next to you at a funeral start blowing their nose that sounds like a siren, you’re not going to laugh? Well, people were sad and crying, but the way some were doing so, Oh my Lord what a Show! I had to bow my head and just try to hide my face so no one could see me laughing.  I know it sounds ridiculous but I can’t help myself, when something funny comes my way, I have to laugh.

Excuse me now, I was not laughing at the death of the person, I was also sad, it was the funny way in which some were expressing their sadness that was funny. I saw the humorous side of their sadness, and that is what I am trying to say. In every situation you can find humor if you pay attention to it, and I believe this is Nature’s way of helping us to deal with problems. And this is what helps me to cope with the most trying situations.
Just seeing the funny side of everything and laughing! 

I have gone through about every problem there is, enough to write a book about. But one thing that has helped me cope is my love of laughter.  I love to look for humor and fun in almost anything. And this is what I want most of my blog to be about, ways we can find humor and laughter around us, cheer us up, instead of constantly being depressed and complaining about our problems. 

In some of my future blog posts I will write about other bad experiences where humor has helped me to cope while some others might have dealt with it in a complaining way. In the meantime I hope we all use our God given ability to smile, giggle, and laugh even in the midst of hard times.
