I love to laugh. People who know me can attest to the fact my laugh can be, well, loud.<\/p>\n
Laughing is healthy, as long as it isn\u2019t done to avoid a serious issue or to demean someone else. It certainly is a great way to reduce stress.<\/p>\n
So, go ahead and laugh at yourself, humorous ideas and life\u2019s absurdities, but, please, do not laugh at other people.<\/p>\n
Having ADD, I have many opportunities to laugh at myself, and I take full advantage of them. Here is part of a recent conversation between my daughter and me:<\/p>\n
G: What are we going to do on my day off from school?<\/p>\n
Marla: What day off?<\/p>\n
G: Tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n
Marla: Really, you don\u2019t have school tomorrow?<\/p>\n
G: Remember\u2026<\/p>\n
Marla: No, but I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll find something fun. I guess I\u2019ll rearrange my schedule\u2026 (This is when I laughed, which is better than getting upset.)<\/p>\n
Give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
