This morning I read a short motivational article on the importance of daily laughter. I immediately recalled the phone call I received on Friday that caused tears of laughter to roll down my check. It was one of those you-had-to-be-there occasions so I won't even try to explain the real estate related incident behind the laughter. The important thing is my friend was laughing so hard while telling the story I could barely understand her, and I was laughing so much while she was speaking I had to ask her to repeat missed conversation several times.
My end of the conversation took place in a grocery store parking lot. I received more than one second glance as some very serious shoppers wheeled their carts to their cars. Maybe they just spent too much money or maybe in these less than funny economic times they are not accustomed to seeing someone engaged in a full blown laughter session. I do know I felt uplifted and joyous as I drove home. I also felt fortunate to have a friend who wanted to take the time to share a funny incident with me. It was wonderful to know my circle of friends includes people filled with an unabashed zest for life (including the two mutual friends involved in the hilarious misadventure).
Laughter reduces stress and recharges the happy meter of your soul. The halls of most real estate offices I visit are rarely filled with laughter and sometimes a smile is even hard to find. I say it's time to bring back the joy and fun and stop being so glum. Laughter is free, easy to share and highly contagious. Spread it around.
