Want to laugh?

Several things yesterday got me thinking about something I am missing and that's being around people who know how to take life with plenty of laughs. The Beguhns were in town and I had lunch with them. That included a lot of laughter, as being with Kay always does. And it is the best medicine around. It was great to see her.
I realized that's one of the reasons I enjoy Rich and Patty so much; there is always a lot of laughter. Same for my sons and wives.
It's not that these folks don't take life seriously (they all do) but they bring an attitude of joy to their relationships with others and are not just focussed on themselves and their problems. Too many people in my life take themselves and their problems too seriously. And I am not suggesting they should change. That isn't how it works.
What I am suggesting is I need to seek out and spend more time with the laughing people.
