LOLigator Original Art

I don’t know about you, but when I see an alligator, I don’t think, “Here’s a guy who must be the life of every party.” And yet, when he opens his mouth, it looks like he just heard a good joke.

Which gives me hope, because I encounter a lot of people walking around with the sunny disposition of an alligator these days. We probably can all agree that laughter is very beneficial. It boosts the immune system (why they say laughter is the best medicine), brings you more energy, lower levels of pain, and protects you from the dreaded Adultitis.Yet it seems like the standard operating procedure these days is to trudge through life with furrowed brows and steely determination.

I get that we live in serious and challenging times, but that doesn’t require us to take ourselves so seriously.

When we laugh, we are happy and free. During that moment of laughter, we are not worried, anxious, or stressed. And so it must give God great joy to see his children buckled over in laughter, just as it does me with my kids.

And reminds me just how much Adultitis must hate it.

All the more reason to make laughter a priority. As Charlie Chaplin, one of the world’s greatest Adultitis fighters and a patron saint of comedy once said, “A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
