First of all, can I just say, congratulations to everyone who has it made it through the first week of the blogging daily challenge 🙌🏼. Is anyone else really enjoying it? This blogging daily thing is really good actually. Luckily I have some distance to travel to and from work and fortunately I travel by train. This gives me plenty of time to get my thinking cap on, switch off from the world and write a simple blog.
What makes me laugh? Anything really. I laugh a lot. I love when you laugh for no reason. It could be something silly someone said or you said, or an action or a memory. When you laugh so hard that you cannot stop. Even if you want to stop. For me it often happens at the most inappropriate times. When I really shouldn’t be laughing. It’s never ending, tears are tripping me and my stomach hurts, sides splitting 😆. Even then I cannot stop.
My friends normally end up joining in, even if they don’t necessarily want to. Laughter is so infectious. I used to get into trouble at school for laughing so much, especially in the library when we were supposed to be super silent. I can’t count the amount of times that I was told to leave the library or class room for laughing so much and distracting others. Even through my university days and studying nursing, I would have many outbursts of laughter. I have one friend that just makes me laugh so much and vice versa. When we are together, it’s just a laugh fest. Not very good when you’re trying to learn or be productive.
I also think I laugh when I’m nervous or stressed about something. It’s almost like a coping mechanism. Have you ever heard the saying, “if you didn’t laugh, you would cry”.
However, I believe laughter is good for you. Good for your health, good for the soul. We need laughter. Especially when times are tough. Laughter is a good outlet to let negative things go and enables you to reset. It’s the best medicine. Unless of course you have just had abdominal surgery. Then I would suggest not to laugh too hard 🙈🤣.
What about you? What makes you laugh?

I am not officially doing the blogging every day challenge, but I am trying to blog more often and not miss more than a day or two at a time.
Humor is my coping mechanism when dealing with my health, struggles at work, my family, and any of life’s hardships. I love to laugh and make other people laugh and was a bit of a clown in high school and beyond. Even after being together for 24 years, my husband still makes me laugh every day, and we always get one or two good belly laughs when seeing our friends (which is rare these days – thanks COVID!) My BF Jim is always making me laugh, too. I don’t enjoy toilet humor or anything that degrades people, but love a good-natured ribbing, tease, or observation on how ridiculous life can be. My guilty pleasure: playing Cards Against Humanity with close friends. Always guaranteed to get some good laughs, but you can’t play this game with just anybody, due to its outrageousness and inappropriateness.

Thanks, I love your reply. I feel like I have a similar humour to yours ☺️. 24 years is an impressive amount of time, very inspiring.
