laughter – WrookieSchU

Thank you Di for this week’s questions.

1. How would you describe your laughter? (giggly, deep, infectious? etc).

I guess it depends on the situation. Sometimes I chuckle and then if something is really funny I can belly laugh, where my sides are actually splitting.

2. What makes you smile?

Dogs, old people in love, seeing my family and partner, seeing old friends. Thinking about this post is making me smile too so thanks again Di for that.

3. Have you ever cried with laughter, and if so, can you remember the circumstances?

Many times I have cried with laughter, normally it is when I shouldn’t be laughing, I think that is what makes it worse. I remember once a friend of mine was imitating our teacher with a particular walk and mannerisms of theirs and the teacher walked into the room. Well that just sent me into convulsions of laughter!! Uncontrollable and hysterical.

4. Have you ever laughed at an inopportune moment?

Please see above. I have done this more times than I care to remember and it usually resulted in me getting in trouble. I just loved to laugh. The amount of times I was put out of the classroom for laughing or talking when I shouldn’t have was A LOT.

Gratitude: Grateful for the cooler weather today and to be off work tomorrow.

Ps. I truly believe laughter is the best medicine 😆

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?
