I am learning to appreciate the humor of children. The laughter that rings out sometimes for no apparent reason. Other times for reasons that you wish they would not laugh. Many times children laugh at silly stuff but it is always so funny to them. As parents, teachers and adults in general I think we should learn to appreciate the laughter of children.

It is amazingly freeing. It causes us to not take ourselves so serious. The laughter of children catches us off-guard. It allows our souls to roam, without constraints, into the jolliest places of our past.

While I write, my face smiles, as I remember my childhood laughs and the various reasons “why.” Yep…they were silly reasons but they were oh soooooo funny to me.

Let’s  learn to appreciate the humor of children. The next time you hear the laughter of a child, join-in and enjoy; who cares “why,” just laugh.

I was thinking about all of the famous and not so famous people passing away the past few days. It is a heavy burden when you lose someone you love and adore. I know and understand this lost personally because when I was 7 years old I lost my father and then when I was 17 years old I lost my mother. Both were the love of my life and the burden of living without them was overwhelming. Well, to be totally honest, I had to get some counseling when my mom died because I could not wrap my mind around losing her. But with God, there is light and life after the death of your loved one. You show appreciation for the lost of life through your doing something good with the life you are given. Life is worth appreciating.

I appreciate life more now because of the experiences of lost and of love. I appreciate life because I demand it of myself, and I embrace life with everything in me. Every moment that you take a breath is one more reason to appreciate life. When you started your day this morning, hopefully you appreciated life by thanking God for your beating heart. If you’re able to work, appreciate that. Better yet, appreciate life because you have a job. Appreciate life by thanking God for all the people you will bless today.

Finally, appreciate life because you are living. Try not to get wrapped up in the negative, focus and dwell on the positive. Appreciate in the here and now. Ask yourself the question, how can I appreciate life today? Now go appreciate life, someone needs to feel appreciated.
