I love that pic and that quote. Laughter is good for you. It soothes the soul, it makes you happy instantly, good endorphins flow through you and it makes others smile too. I get teased that I have a big loud laugh from my hubby. I ignore this. I understand some may not like my laugh, but it is who i am and for everyone who doesn't like it, there are 2 more who love it! I get complimented on my laugh wayyyy more than I get told to use my inside laugh. I cannot help it. The laugh comes from the belly and has a mind of its own. I am okay with that. I will not apologize for being a happy girl. I will apologize when i have done something wrong, or hut someone even unintentionally. Unintentional hurt is the worst. It was never meant, something was taken the wrong way, or I acted in a way that was taken badly and that makes me sad. I am quick to apologize as i never ever want to hurt anyone. I have done enough of that in my lifetime. I have also let go of the past and look towards the future. Sometimes the past creeps up and makes you remember things you thought were gone, you thought you let go of and the feeling us worthlessness and hurt flood in to the present. It takes work to stop those thoughts and remember that I am not that person anymore. That person that was insecure, a drunk, selfish, that person is who made me the caring, selfless, sober person I am today. I cannot change who I was, but I can learn from her and let go of her. I can remember that I am a different better person who is constantly looking to be better and do more for others to make up for past mistakes and hurts. I cannot change what happened in my past, but I can learn from it and let go of it to make room for a new future.
So laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of things you cannot change! Your life will be better for it!
