Laughing out loud

Laughter is a very important part of my life.  I like to be with people that can make me laugh out loud, if you will, and someone that I can make laugh.  To me a great sense of humor is a must!!  Whether you are my friend, significant other, someone that got stuck sitting by me for any length of time, etc.  It is not necessary for us to have the same kinds of senses of humor.  Take Zeb, for example, his is very dry at times.  But I understand it, and love that about him.  When you first meet him you don't know how to take his humor, but then you get it and just go with the flow. 

I have been told a time or two, I have a bizarre sense of humor.  It is true.  I laugh sometimes at times I shouldn't, or sometimes it may be inappropriate to laugh--can't help it, just bursts out at times!  (I don't laugh at funerals, or those inappropriate kinds of things.)  Every now and then another human being comes along and "gets" my sense of humor and in rare instances, they share my "bizarre" sense of humor. 

The people that go through day to day life and hardly ever laugh, or smile, I don't understand them.  Sure there are circumstances in their lives, mine too, but you gotta take time and find a way to laugh.  Don't take life too serious, sometimes it is also necessary to laugh at yourself.  I do this all the time. 

Not to tell my age, most of you know already, but there are times at Walmart I come out and forget where I park, which door I came in, etc.  Then I am shaking my head, laughing at myself!  In 100 degree weather I may not be laughing so much at myself, but after the fact I do, guarantee it! 

All of my friends, do not share the same sense of humor as I do, but at least they have some form of humor, or they wouldn't be my friends.  Does that sound harsh to you?  It isn't meant to be, just wanted to let you know the importance of laughter and having a sense of humor is to me.  

You don't have to laugh at everything I say, or everything I think is funny.  I could be sitting somewhere crying I laughed so hard and some  people will just not see what I saw in the situation.  That is their loss, not mine.  I say laugh as much as you can during your day, it can sometimes get you through some rough times.  A friend is always a good thing to help you get through rough times as well. 

If you learn something new about me today, it is that, because I love to write, I absolutely, positively LOVE quotes and you will see them from time to time in my blogs.  Here are a few on laughter, enjoy and put a little laughter in your day!!
