Help me laugh

The daily prompt asks – What Makes you Laugh?

Wow, lots of things thankfully.

I’ll start with life in general. Hundreds of things make me laugh each day. Even when I’m sad, I sometimes shake my head and laugh.

My family, especially my children and grandchildren, make me laugh. My friends certainly make me laugh.

Comedians make me laugh. Cartoons make me laugh, comics make me laugh and stupid things make me laugh. Nature sometimes makes me laugh. Politicians make me laugh.

The actual what is even more of a list that is too big for one post. I guess the power to see humor and sometimes share in making others laugh is a nice trait to have.

I do know I’m thankful laughter has been such a big part of my life. It’s saved me several times from traumatic events and troubled times. Laughter is a survival skill at times in life.

Life and laughter

What makes you laugh? – A nice question for a Saturday morning from the daily writing prompt.

The list of things that don’t make me laugh would be easier to do because I find great humor in life. Part survival technique and just enjoying life to the fullest.

Grandchildren make me laugh. My friends make me laugh. My job used to make me laugh. People make me laugh.

I love watching comedians. My favorite type of movie is probably a comedy. Sometimes I just laugh because I’m feeling good about the day, and sometimes I laugh because I’m so stressed out about the day.

Lots of people are comedians and don’t even know it.
