Laughing at yourself

I was just inspired to write this post because while walking up the stairs today I fell, and I really couldn't keep it together. I started to laugh so hard I couldn't breath and it was an enjoyable moment to my very neutral weekend. So I got reminded how important it is to laugh at yourself, which is something my family is pretty good at.

This is the season to be inspired and surrounded by the people we love, with my thoughts on  laughing at yourself I was reminded how good my family is at doing that. We really are people who joke, and we joke a lot, and I realized how I surround myself with people who laugh. I have a lot of friends who laugh when I trip, and I laugh at them when they trip, not because we don't care just because we think it's funny. I really have noticed how all of my family and friends are funny and quick to come back with something smart-ass-ish (That is a real word, trust me). I have also noticed how when I have extremely sensitive friends I change a little bit, I would really joke about outside things and not myself or them. That is okay but so is laughing at yourself. If you are having a rough time where if you trip in public you will become shy or cry maybe you should just laugh, laugh so hard that you can't get back up. If you get nervous and start to stutter during something important just crack a joke and laugh at yourself. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at? No one.

I have to say I really think laughter is the best medicine, and a lot of people act like if you laugh during something serious you are nervous. Like the other day someone asked how my relationship with my mother had been and I just laughed, their view was that I was nervous, then when I couldn't answer why I was laughing they seemed to have that view solidified. I laugh because that is how you get through hard times, by looking back and laughing saying "I can't believe I went through that."

So how do you guys laugh? Do you have trouble laughing at yourself? Do you find it easy to laugh at yourself and not other people? Do you surround yourself with funny people? What is your sense of humor?

Hope you all are having a funny day, love you munchkins! <3
