Many things can be said about what I am thankful for today. It's good for the soul, it's good medicine, it's the shortest distance between two people, it's an instant vacation. Today I am thankful for... laughter. In fact, in trying to find the perfect quote about laughter, I found a Yiddish proverb which says, "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul." And Kurt Vonnegut compared laughter and crying saying, "Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward." On a similar note, Puzant Kevork Thomajan said, "A hearty laugh gives one a dry cleaning, while a good cry is a wet wash." I have no idea who Puzant Kevork Thomajan is, but I agree with both him and Kurt Vonnegut.
More than being thankful for laughter, today I'm thankful for my "instant vacation" multiple times today. I love to laugh, and it's even better when there are several opportunities to partake in the good medicine, the medicine for the soul, multiple times a day.
