May Your Life Be Filled With Laughter

Posted on October 24, 2012 by lesleycarter

My sister, Suzanne, has brought more happiness and laughter into my life than I ever thought imaginable.

Simply being in her presence makes me a happier, better person.

Spend your days with people that make you happy. Who makes you laugh the most?

Spending your day with annoying people with bad attitudes will also like make you an annoying person with a bad attitude. When you wake up in the morning in a bad mood remember that attitudes are addictive.

Start each day with a smile and those around you will smile with you.

My sister and I loved sharing and laughing together. Then one day, completely unexpectedly, she died. So I say enjoy your sister, cherish her.

      Oh, recently…. There are no words of comfort when you experience such a great loss, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

      Yikes. That’s rough. I know the cliche “sorry to hear that” sounds pretty hollow, but there is really nothing to be said for something like that. I’m genuinely sorry for your loss. We never do get enough time with the ones we love.

I know perfectly what you’re talking about, Lesley. My oldest sister Lumi (with whom I also share a birthday, yet we are NOT twins) and I live within a 2.5 miles radius. It’s so darn handy! Do I need a laugh? She’s there. Do I need someone to pick up my kid at school? She’s already on her way. Do I need someone to take a stroll in the park and bitch about the wrinkles and extra pounds? You bet Lumi is always up for it.
Sometimes we say just plain silly things, but oh, boy! Do we laugh!!! And there’s nothing better than a laugh out loud with your loved ones.
Thanks for the post. It remind it me how lucky I am :)))

True. Not everyone makes you happy when you’re around them. In fact, I know some people who seem to always try to make you see the negative side of things, always and even their happy has a negative tone. My sister who I think is super funny makes me laugh the most, though.

May I say, I love the new look of the site. I’m thinking of changing my own theme for my site, so this gives me more ideas 🙂

There is nothing better than laughing uncontrollably with someone. You laugh so hard you can’t breath, you have pain in your side and you might just pee a little. I have a few women in my life that can do that to me. Of course the pee thing could just be age. 😉

This photo captures such a sense of vibrant love and life between you and your sister that I could almost hear your laughters!! What a special moment. What a special bond. I don’t have a sister but I got two brothers and they make me laugh the hardest. Just hearing my brother’s voice on the phone or within seconds of seeing each other, we would be roaring with laughter. Thank you for filling up my heart with remembrance. Hugs, Sharon

Beautiful post. When my children were very little, I realized how quickly they would grow up. I vowed to enjoy every single day we had together. And I did! Now they are grown up and we are best friends. But I am so glad I thought, early on, to cherish every single day with them! They make me happy.

My sisters are like that–they are always there for me. I don’t have much family, but what I do have–is solid. Just take everyday as a gift. I used to go to college and was just in a bad place and would see these great young people in wheelchairs struggling but determined to get to class on time. They taught me that I could have it worse, that we all could, and to take every day as a gift: A beautiful gift, no matter how dark a day may seem.

Nice thoughtful post! I don’t have a sister but I have two amazing younger brothers, the three of us are really close, one of them was very sick a couple of years ago, we thought we would loose him but THANK GOD we didn’t and now I have learned to appreciate him so much more! Thanks for reminding me to laugh more with my brothers and my family too! 🙂

I’m an only child, but I am so happy to say that I have shared many, many laughter-filled days with my parents, my best friends, husband, and now my children. I have one dear friend who tends to actually fall on the floor when she starts laughing really hard, and I wish we lived closer so I could see that happen more often! My children giggle over the strangest things, but it is indeed beautiful, therapeutic, and always welcome! Thanks for the reminder!
