Live With Laughter

William James, b.1842, said, "Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing."

Live With Laughter

An ancient adage goes something like this,
We don't stop laughing because we die.
We die because we stopped the laughing.

The years I've lived confirm the truth of this,
recalling numerous friends and acquaintances
whose early deaths came within somber lives.

Yes, there are many of us born to not laugh,
I appeal to all caught in-between, who make
new life on the lighter side; open for laughs!


F William Broome 2008

Levity is the best medicine life gives us. Some folks just like dweling on the dark side. Me? I'm going to laugh every chance I get.
Thanks for reminding me.
Love,
Susan

I'm all for laughter and I think it does keep us young and alive, with a smile in our hearts how can we be sad. Great write Bill.

When life deals you a bad hand, you have a choice to make...I would much rather laugh then cry, I have already cried too much...no more!
A wonderful uplifting write, Bill...

Sometime ago, I can't remember when, a hand came and took my smiles away...the laugh? when was the last time you hear me doing that?
But I will try...again.

My way of life, "You've got to live a little, laugh a little..."
Your appeal to call those to be open for laughs, might just get all who read on the right track! It's a necessity!
Enjoyed~
Love and Peace~
