What IS good for your soul?

I've been thinking a lot about what this country needs. If you haven't, where have you been? I know that the leaders are not going to give me a call to ask for my advice, so maybe if I blog it, it will find it's way to them.

We need to remember how to laugh. We need to have a good hearty, tears rolling down the cheeks laugh at least once a day. We need to return to a sense of humor and stop taking every little thing so seriously.

Oh, I don't mean to suggest that these aren't hard times. I have not been living in a cave. But every day there is something to make you smile and if you work at it a little bit, there are things to laugh at too. Don't make fun of others and don't laugh inappropriately, but if you can't remember the last time you had tears rolling down your cheeks or even peed your pants laughing, then you've gotten too serious.

Start with a smile. Come on. You can do it. Look at that awesome sunrise or sunset. Notice that cute little girl with her mother at the department store. Go ahead, smile at them. Turn off the news and find an old sit com and laugh. Throw the paper out without reading anything except the funnies one day. Ask your co-workers about their 5 year old's soccer game, or go watch.

LAUGH! It will nourish your soul.
