Jonathan and Laurie (one of our very first photos together)
Reba Kennedy at Everyday Simplicity suggested this past week that everyone needs a laugh list.
I’ve found that all the bad stuff stops me from laughing, and if I start laughing, with even a mild giggle, then those bad feelings evaporate away. Poof! And I’m free to enjoy the rest of my day. Getting stuff done — instead of spending wasted energy on bad emotions/bad attitudes. Casting my cares.
So, as a matter of preparedness, I offer…
Jonathan’s Laugh List
- The mental image I have of our two foster boys sleeping in their beds, laying on their bellies, with their butts sticking high in the air.
- Dumb and Dumber
- Tommy Boy
- Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner
- Episodes of The Office, Better Off Ted, Scrubs and The Simpsons
So that’s my brief list. What about you? What’s on your list?
Hey Jonathan,
Seeing that you made your own laugh list made me smile! Thx for making my day!
And, congrats on the book being published. Wow. Great thing.
God bless,
Reba at EverydaySimplicity
Thanks! Might be good to revisit in a couple weeks and add to the list as well.
The book was a fun process. Self-publishing isn't an easy or huge money maker — but it was fun.
There are probably several things I'd do differently if I did it all over again — but I'll probably save those for the next go around.
Thanks again for the comment and the laughing list idea.
Shalom!
