Laughter...

To laugh is a good thing, and when done with another it becomes contagious and good for the soul. You know, that kinda laughter that you can't quite control and it feels like you had an abdominal workout after you've finished, only to just catch your breath and start all over again with a second abdominal workout.  Laughter, the freedom to just let go.

"Laughter is the corrective force which prevents us from becoming cranks." 
~ Henri Bergson ~

"Remember, men need laughter sometimes more than food." 
~ Anna Fellows Johnston ~

"If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy." 
~ Proverb ~

"Laugher is a sunbeam of the soul."
 ~ Thomas Mann ~

"A good laugh recharges your battery." 
~ Author Unknown ~

"Carry laughter with you wherever you go." 
~ Hugh Sidney ~

The other morning I was out taking pictures in my mom's front garden, I heard the buzzing of a bumble bee but didn't pay much attention to it.  I took my shots and started walking up my mom's front walkway looking at her flowers, I still heard that bumble bee buzzing and suddenly there was movement in my pj pants by my upper leg...it was the BUMBLE BEE, trapped in my pants!  I ran to my mom's front door and burst through.  She was on the phone wondering what was going on, I told her in a frenzy that I had a bumble bee stuck in my pj pants.  I through my camera off on her couch and ran into the bathroom and ripped my pants off and the bumble lay stunned on the floor.  Thank goodness I didn't get stung.  Mom rolled him up in the bath math and we brought him outside to freedom.  I think I'm gonna have to tuck my pj pants into my socks next time I'm out and about so no visitors enter in :-)
