I'm turning over a new leaf, now.
These pictures make me grateful for several things:
ONE, that I had my camera out at this choice moment.
TWO, that my roommate had the guts to give her boyfriend a purple-nurple.
and THREE, that they still make me laugh--every. time.
Side-splitting laughter is my favorite, and if you can make me laugh- I mean REALLY laugh-then I'll hang around you forever. Fortunately for my friends (or unfortunately...that's up for debate...), it's not too hard to accomplish.
The old adage, "laughter is the best medicine," is one that I believe whole-heartedly. Nothing can change a mood or lighten a burden quite like a laugh can, and as a wise woman who spoke at BYU once said, "If you can laugh at it, you can live with it." Laughter, especially when shared with someone else, morphs into a unifying force that can conquer the troubles heaped upon us; laughter isn't only a bodily action, but a facilitator of attitude change.
So, I am so grateful for the funny moments in my life that ground me, and bring me back to reality when I blow circumstances out of proportion.
I'm grateful for the attitude boost they provide, and the perspective they offer during hard times.
But most of all, I'm grateful for the people that provide such funny moments for me, intentional or not. They have no idea how much strength I derive from them.
