I do not think enough can be said about the importance of laughing (and hugging, but that's for another day). Laughing doesn't mean you aren't taking life serious, at least the things you need to be taking serious. We all have responsibilities as adults that need to be taken serious. However, taking life's responsibilities serious and enjoying life/laughing often and loud are NOT mutually exclusive. Let me repeat that, taking life's responsibilities serious and enjoying life/laughing often and loud are NOT mutually exclusive. Keep telling yourself that and remember, "Don't take life too serious. You'll never get out of it alive." I know, I know, that quote is almost NOT funny. But, admit it, you laughed. I crack myself up.
Enjoy yourself out there and don't forget to take care of each other. We're all in this together.
