The Joy Diet - Laughter (We All Need It)

11/12/2009

Last week I realized something very important about myself.  For a very long time the fun side of my personality has been missing.   I have always been considered a serious person and I accepted that role in life.  But in thinking about alot of things, I realized that as a child, particularly a teenager, I used to laugh and do crazy things all of the time.  But once I officially became an adult this part of my personality vanished. My friends are also pretty serious so we spend a lot of time being serious.  But this week I decided that I wanted to find the fun, joyful part of me again.  I also accepted that I am the only one who can bring her back.  So Tuesday night I took a big risk for me.  At my writing class, I chose the topic that could lead to a funny story.  It was fun to write and it was fun to share with the class.  I was really astounded when they laughed at several spots and clapped when I finished.  I don't think that you will find me on stage at any comedy clubs anytime soon but I do know that I enjoyed sharing this part of my personality with my writing class.  It took courage to dip my big toe in the water but it was definitely worth the risk.  I have promised myself that from now on I am going to seek out fun and laughter.  I am really excited about seeing where this new attitude can take me.

I would love to read your piece that was so fun for you to write. A friend of mine would say, "If you have fun writing it, people will have fun reading it." Cheers to filling our life with more laughter!

Ginny I really think you are quite funny and have related many of your stories to others. To me I think you really view the world with humor, but keep it to yourself. I think it is great to share, and really let others see your LIGHT!
