Laughter List

Laughter List

Make a laughter list so you can go to it when you are down. What makes you giggle? Laughter is good medicine for hard times, moments we feel depressed or sad, or just to ease a moment of frustration.

It would be so much fun to create a laughter list from the time you are born, and throughout life. Imagine being able to see a long list of all the things that made you laugh over your lifetime. That laughter list would become a keepsake for sure.

Do not be a joy killer with your mean words or deeds. There is too much negativity already going on in the world. Instead pull out your laughter list to help a friend out when they need something to laugh at. Laughter really is great for the body, mind, and spirit. We are more likely to want to be around others who make us laugh, so join in on the fun yourself, and make a laughter list.

When I made my guy checklist, I wanted someone to make me laugh as well. I definitely got that one checked off the list with my husband, and I am so grateful for that. So, what or who makes you laugh?

Remember the old show, “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” which featured children doing cute acts or saying cute statements? Many times children have a unique way of having fun in life, and teaching us as adults to embrace the simple, everyday events that make us laugh. Make sure you video and voice record your children having fun, to show them later in life what all made them laugh on a daily basis.

There are also many popular tv shows, You Tube videos, silly songs, etc that make us laugh. What show is your favorite right now? I still love the show, “Americas Funniest Home Videos.” Laughing actually has been reported in many studies to make your brain work better, improve your memory, and lower blood pressure. This is why it is important to create a laughter list.

Put together a scrapbook page or save mementos of things that make you laugh. For example, what are some of your favorite jokes you like to tell or hear? Save these on your laughter list. What advice do you offer your child when they are sad? Save your laughter list in a family time capsule, so you can pass it on to your great grandchildren to have decades from now, when they need something to laugh about. Use the “Any Occasion” DIY time capsule to make your own family time capsule to keep the laughter list and other sentimental memorabilia in. It will be such a fun day when the family time capsule is opened and this laughter list is read.

We all need to smile a little more in life. A laughter list can help you do that. Whether it is a tickle fight with your little sister, a clown or comedy show, or other moments captured from everyday life, write down your laughter list or video record these special moments of fun. You do not ever want to forget these great memories of laughter.
