Laughing Out Loud

I have worked with children for over 20 years now. Through the years I have touched the lives of hundred of young scholars, educating them and giving them the social skills needed to embark on the rest of their academic careers. All the while learning from them one simple truth...there is joy in the simpliest of things. Happiness can be found in the hardest of times and laughter is like therapy for the heart. There is something to be said about the ability to Laugh out Loud. The mere thought of throwing your head back and laughing so the world can hear brings a smile to your face.
I am entering the 3rd month of my year long journey/transformation. Along the way I have had several set backs coupled with times of utter despair. Through the struggles and the tears I've managed to find solitude and refuge in the laughter of my little ones. Their laughter is infectious and highly contagious. I've learned that even the ugliest of situations can be turned around if I just take the time to look on the bright side of things and laugh. Knowing always that Most things are not as Bad as they seem and Nothing is as Good as It GETS.
So Smile...better yet laugh! And if you can't find anything new to laugh about, reminisce about lighter days and better times. Whatever you do rejoice and know that as promised:   JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING!
