“I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t laugh.”
– Maya Angelou
One of the most beautiful sounds humans make is laughter, a universal language we all speak. Do you snort, titter, chuckle, giggle, whoop, snicker, cackle, tee-hee, guffaw, roar, or chortle? I’m from New York. I don’t cover my mouth and titter. I open my mouth wide and sort of cackle. Or do I chortle? All I know is laughing is one of my favorite things to do. I try to find something to laugh at every day – even if it takes watching a baby belly laugh or silly animals on Youtube to get me started.
I hope these unique views about love and marriage bring some laughter to your weekend:
