Well… in all honesty life is probably worth about the same, regardless of laughter.  With laughter life is just more amusing. Tolerable. Perhaps I say this because I do live my life with my foot so perpetually in my mouth? But hey!, I love to laugh. Maybe instead of getting frustrated, instead of becoming self-loathing, self-pittying, take a moment to observe the amusement which you can provide for yourself? I mean I spent all weekend pretending to be a luke warm bowl of salmonella (if you were to judge by my social skills that is).  I was frustrated, & dehydrated & mopey about this…  then I looked at myself, & I’ve had a freaking hilarious last few hours of self absorbent moodiness — like an episode of Buffy… where they sing.
So, whether your life is looking shockingly like some 90’s teen-drama (complete with workout montage), or sounds like a country song — twangy & heartbroken, or is just out & out ridiculous, take a moment to laugh at yourself today.

alternatively — misery does love alcohol.
