Did you laugh today?

I've been having an off week. Trying to keep up with all my classes, housework, and a baby definitely is not an easy mix. I've been extremely frustrated with math, this cold and snowy weather, and the fact that there are not enough hours in the day. I could really cut eating and sleeping out of my schedule, that would make things a whole lot easier. There are so many things on my to do list that are waiting to be checked off, plus doing something that I really love to do. This has all resulted in a very grouchy wife and mommy lately.  :(

But then something happened today that made the rain go away and shined sunlight upon my heart. Bryer's laughter. :) 


She will always and forever be the one thing in this world that will lift me up above the stars when I get weighed down. I am so grateful Heavenly Father placed this little angel in my arms to keep and make her mine. She is my treasure, my strength, and I don't know how I ever survived without her.

When I am on the verge of crying I just look at her and see her smiling at me and can't help but smile back. I soon forget about what was bothering me and begin playing peek a boo or crawling around on the floor with her acting silly.

I realized something very important today. This evening I was giving her a bath and she was splashing around having the BEST time. I don't think I ever heard her laugh so hard, and it's been a while since I laughed so hard with her. Laughing was good for me, it took away all my stress and I was able to think clearly and positively.



I used to think that having a good cry made everything better. Well I just learned that a good cry followed by a good dose of laughter is the best medicine. Probably comes with great health benefits too.

Just thought I'd share. Hope everyone remembers to laugh today! :)
