Laugh

This I Believe:

I believe in laughing until you are red in the face and your stomach hurts for days. I believe in planting a garden and learning what it takes to cultivate an actual fruits and vegetables. I believe in love and the all of its undeniable effects on the human spirit, its mischievous mannerisms and especially all of its ‘off the beaten path’ tendencies. I believe in myself and if it were not for this belief or occasional pat on the back with my own hand, I would not be capable of anything. I believe in 15 minutes of silence per day. I believe in spending more time with my family than the current amount spent now. At the end of the day, my family (no matter what it looks like or how it is made up) is truly all I have. My family deserves credit for who I am and for who I will become. I believe in taking more days off than working. I believe that false hope is better than no hope at all. I think repeating this is worth it; I believe in laughing! I believe that positive encouragement can go a lot farther than negative criticism. I believe in recycling, reducing and re-using. I believe in taking a shorter shower and turning off the sink when I brush my teeth. I believe in prayer, no matter what shape or form it comes in. I believe in the potential for human spirit and its strengths rather than its weakness. I believe that simply believing can go a lot further than not believing at all.
