When the Laughter is Gone
Have you ever woken up one morning and realized that you haven’t laughed in a very long time? You think about how you used to laugh all of the time at movies, television, commercials, people, comedy and more. You ponder how the simple things in life used to bring you joy as you lay in your bed staring at the ceiling wondering what happened. Suddenly it dawns on you what the answer is. The answer is simple, life happened. The burdens of daily life have somehow sucked the happiness and joy out of your life. Think of all of the daily burdens and obstacles that most people have which contribute to ushering their minds into a negative place. Every day we worry about paying bills, inflation, recession, gas prices, our children, family and the way of the world. It might not be evident to you right away, but if you stop and think about it you will realize that it’s true. Before you know it you’re falling into that hole of negativity and wondering how to climb out so you can regain your laughter and happiness.
