Day 186 – November 6, 2011
A man should never neglect his family for business.
~Walt Disney
Today was a good day, one I would like to repeat. But since that isn't possible, I'll take it for the great memory it will be tomorrow. Today was family day, which actually started last night by the family watching Disney's Beauty and The Beast, on the ABC Family Channel. When you watch this movie with little ones, it's cute and adorable. But, when you watch it with grown-ups the subtleties are hilarious and we laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. It was a good evening, my favorite part, it was free and came with popcorn, yummy.
Every once in a while you just need to cut out the hustle and bustle of the world, turn off the phone, set no agenda and just enjoy spending time together. We cleaned the house a bit, did some laundry, went grocery shopping and got haircuts. All while laughing, talking and just having some goofy family fun. Sorry to all those we may have offended by smiling and enjoying ourselves. Actually, I feel sorry for them, because to stay sane, you have to just relax and have some laughs once in a while. If someone misses that point, well they are missing the best parts of being alive. We all need the release of laughter and the freedom to remember that family is important. When you combine the two then you have something special, something powerful. Maya Angelou said, “My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.”
I understand the times are serious and our challenges many. This isn’t the first time in history things were tough for so many, myself included. That said, hard times may come and go and all of our life is rhythms and counterpoint, but laughter is the score that we remember best. It's the thing that helps us through those tough times. To end the perfect day, a good football game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. I hope my team plays well and wins.
If you can't find the laughter in your day, watch a good movie; here are some of my favorites; Arthur with Dudley Moore; Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams and Major League with Charlie Sheen. They always make me laugh.
What will make you laugh today?
