Day One - Enjoy a Laugh
Today's prompt is to enjoy a child's giggle. If you're a mom, this
will be a pretty easy prompt to complete, but even if you don't have
kids you can keep your ears open for the sound of laughter coming from a
little kid.
So
why are we listening for a child's laughter today? Well, for two
reasons. For one, there's nothing like a child's laugh to make you
smile. When my daughter laughs, it's an all-out moment of glee for her
and it's contagious. When we're working on growing our happiness
quotient, it's always a good idea to get around those who are naturally
joyful.
The
second reason is for us to take note and learn from the kids around us.
Sure, they don't have the level of stress we're facing, but they still
have something to teach. Namely that they are almost always one step
away from silliness and laughter. Ask yourself when was the last time
you had a good belly laugh? How are you cultivating joy in your life?
Are you able to see the silly and amusing things in your day or are you
just trying to get through your list?
