There’s a co-worker in the next room over. I hear him talking and have for the past year or so. He’s older, loves video games and movies, is married, quite calm in the face of agitation, and he laughs all the time. Sometimes at stuff that isn’t funny, like laughing is just one of his go to’s as he walks away from someone, or has any kind of conversation.
There’s a gal here who laughs all the time too. I listen and I wonder what’s wrong with them that they find so many things funny.
Then I wonder, is there something wrong with me that I see so much cause for seriousness in the world?
Two different personalities… some just let stuff roll off them with a laugh, others tend to analyze things, holding onto them and the inner friction it creates.
I’d like to laugh more, but laughing in todays circumstances seems sort of shallow.
Maybe I’ve been taking the last 20 years of spiritual attack too personally. Maybe I really just need to “disengage”, however that might look.
Yes, I’d prefer to laugh more, if only folks would stop messing around in my “fields”.
Make a Wish ~ As a child you may have been encouraged to blow on a dandelion and make a wish. As you blew the seed blossoms from the stem, they would be carried on the wind so your wish could be fulfilled. This is a gentle reminder to set clear intentions about what you wish for in your life. You are being asked what you would like. At this moment, anything is possible. If you were given one wish, what would you wish for? Trust that your wish will be granted at an opportune time and in the manner that supports you in the fullest.
Laughter ~ Laughter breaks up stagnant energy, gets things moving and helps relax you. Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused and alert.
Acceptance of Love ~ Harmony of opposites, masculine and feminine. You have the ability to give love freely to yourself and to others. It is important to understand that you are whole, complete and perfect now and will enhance the life of another. Love can happen. Love is the truth of all situations. Love the soul embodied inside you. Express more love in your life and allow yourself to feel loved. Everything happens exactly when it is supposed to. In that order, everything that happens is what is supposed to take place. You bring light and individuality into this world.
Perfect Setting ~ If you have a goal or vision, be sure to provide the right surroundings for that dream to flourish. Positive self-talk, affirmations, being kind to yourself, celebrating your talents and successes – all of these create fertile soil for your dreams to take root and grow. Sometimes, when you push too hard it can hinder the harmonious unfolding of your journey. Trust the process, relax, and allow nature to take its course. Belief and positive support is needed to accomplish your goal. Keep in mind; Nature makes growing and blossoming look effortless but the secret is in all the details – position, sun, soil, air, water and nourishment. Make sure you are taking the steps necessary to attain your perfect environment.
Show Your Support ~ Take time to encourage a colleague, coworker, family member or friend. Be a strong shoulder or willing volunteer to run errands. Provide a safe space for another’s concerns and feelings to be discussed and be a good listener. Jump in on providing extra time. Sponsor someone else’s work. Share in someone’s success. All of nature continually shows us the value in creating a strong network. The trees provide shelter and support for many different inhabitants. We are a community and when we support each other, everyone gains.

Feel confident that things are falling into place. Just as a seedling breaking through the surface of the earth, you too are going to experience an emergence.

You are gifted with a creative touch and the ability to generate new and wonderful things. Take a moment to feel proud of yourself for all that you have accomplished.
Thee is so much more going on than you realize. When we get up in our heads and overthink things, we start to miss much of what is going on in the world around us. You might be trying to micromanage a situation and are too focused on small details. Try looking at this from different angles. If you’ve been struggling with a problem or tough situation, you will find the answers if you stand back and view everything from a larger perspective or someone else’s viewpoint.

Clear your energy, the energy of those around you and the energy of your environment. Winds of change are blowing into your awareness. In order to prepare for what is ahead, begin a process of renewal. This process might include clearing away the old that no longer has a purpose in your life. It also might mean changing old habits and patterns that you are easy to release. An example might be actively avoiding overly sugary foods if you are trying to eliminate excessive sugar from your diet. View this as a time of shedding that can be achieved with ease and grace.

Today is a day to focus on humor. It is important to see the “light” ~ as in the light side of things. Nothing unites me with other people more than laughter, and very few things are better for my health and peace of mind. Today I banish all thoughts that make me sad and welcome only those that make me, and everyone around me, smile.
