Everyone needs to laugh but for me, it's like manna from heaven! I mean, I can remember side-splitting hysterics from a young age. Years later, I'm lucky. I still laugh a lot. I haven't had one of those side-splitting, face-aching laughs in a while but I still laugh a lot.
I can't imagine a day without laughter in it. Even when I was managing my parents' business and caring for a terminally ill father (then mother!), I still was able to laugh at some point in the day. Of course, I had terrible fits of temper too but peppered with a good laugh here and there, it was all somehow bearable.
I guess that's why I always acted like a clown as a kid. To give that feeling to someone else was like getting a gift back. It always made me feel so good inside to make someone else laugh. Laughs are like sugar in a bitter cup of coffee. They make the brew of life more pleasant to drink.
Some would say that if the brew of life is bitter to me then, I'm not living right. You know what? They're wrong. I'm living the best that I can. If I'm supposed to be living it differently, I imagine a power greater than me will somehow let me know. Until then, I'm just truckin' like everybody else... and laughing, of course!

As it goes, you have THE most delicious laugh on this earth.
Like a special person in your life once told me, "It's great. She laughs right from the belly. It's one of the first things I noticed about her." What's not to notice...the great and mighty RRRRRRROAR of joy that fills a room when Sammy Sam hears a good joke, or as is often the case...when she makes one.
The world has much to learn from your laughter. I know I have.
