Laugh or cry through life!

Ok, I don't know if it is just me but when you look at that picture you just have to smile! so those of you who know me, know that I try to be a VERY positive person in life through out every situation. Those of you who don't know me don't you think it is a little weird you are reading my blog? You don't even know me?

Anyways, I have always said, "you can go through life either laughing or crying, so you might as well laugh." This is the motto I have always tried to live by. Whenever something bad comes up in my life, my natural reaction is to cry. I think it is because I am an overly senitive person, so i let things get to me that shouldn't. The way I let my emotion out if to cry. I think crying is a great thing. But I think laughing is far better.

So I have been thinking to myself, how do I change this natural reaction to cry and start to laugh when things aren't going the way I had planned them. Well about two weeks ago I was laying in bed and I couldn't sleep. This is very unusually for me because usually I fall asleep within the first three mins. of when I lay down. After 25 mins and I was still laying there. I started to think about my life? I started to think where am I going with my life? Do I make the best of every situation? Am I enjoying my life right now?

All these questions brought me back to the motto "you can go through life either laughing or crying, so you might as well laugh." So as I was laying there and I started to think about my day. I didn't have the best day, I thought, but little did I know you can pick the good out of anything. I decided to pick ten things I did that day, where I started to laugh. Mostly things I was grateful for that day. This totally changed my attitude and I went right to sleep. The next morning I decided I am going to try and make other people laugh today. While I was in the shower I started to think of ten things I could do to make people smile that day.

For two weeks now I have been saying ten things in bed at night that made me laugh during the day, and ten things in the morning I wanted to do to make other people laugh. This has COMPLETELY changed my attitude about life. I have laughed more and connected with people I never thought I could. My attitude is more positive because of it.

Just try it and see what it does for you! These are pictures to make you smile! :) one of the ten today!
