Laughing


I am sitting on my comfy couch right now as one of my dearest friends is visiting and I just gave her the book Microthrills by Wendy Spero knowing she would LOVE it as I did and I am now enjoying multiple bursts of her hysterical laughter as she sits beside me. I just wanted to note how amazing it feels not only to read such a great book that makes you laugh out loud constantly but to then pass it on to a friend who has the same reaction. I only wish that Wendy Spero could be my friend and we could all hang out and laugh together. Check out her website. She is awesome. If I met her I would tell her that I also struggled with not wanting to leave any of my stuffed animals out which resulted in having my bed filled with them. I also had a piece of paper posted to my desk listing their names and birthdays so I wouldn't forget any of them. Obsessive, you might say. I call it thoughtful. Part of what I loved so much about this book is that it really brings out a sense of childhood wonder and creativity, and don't we all need a dose of that in our lives?

So here's to laughing and being silly and creative. That's really all I wanted to say today. I want to dance more and laugh more and read more good books so send me some recommendations if you have them.
