Don’t Dance? No Biggie. I Hope You Laugh!
No doubt we are all familiar with the old adage “laughter is the best medicine.” After almost 39 years of waking up next to my chosen one, I have come to recognize laughter as one of the key ingredients for keeping the love flame burning. In fact for me, I would say laughter is the oil in my lamp of love (corny I know.)
Life at times can be really difficult. It only stands to reason that included under the stormy sky of life – lies the often tumultuous shifting sands of love. Sometimes when the whole “relationship thing” feels like one big sink hole, the best thing you can do is literally laugh your butt off.
So, you ask “am I just up shizola creek without a paddle” if my partner has the sense of humor of a tree stump? I think not! Everyone has a funny bone, some people just have theirs buried under layers of other “not so adorable” personality traits. Get creative and go on a discovery mission. Your lover may not moon you in the middle of the day just to get you to laugh, but he may sit and laugh at a rerun of Seinfeld or an episode of Modern Family.
The point is I think in order to keep our love life vibrant, we need to find ways to laugh together — even if you have to sit and watch Airplane the Movie for the 25th time and feign laughter at “what’s your vector Victor?”
Not everyone feels the romance rocking side to side on the dance floor – but all of us can laugh.
I hope you laugh!
The Zen Den
Hello and welcome to The Zen Den. My name is Alison and while I am passionate about many things, my most inspiring driving force is human connection. Blogger, content writer, orthopedic exercise specialist, motivational speaker, international yoga pro, published songwriter, avid poker player, mom and wife are just a few of my titles. But when I do my job at NASA, I am known simply as “The Fairy Zenmother” a role I deeply love because people invite me into their space to help them find their center, relax and stretch their muscles and destress their mind. Here in the blogosphere version of The Zen Den, I invite you into my world where I will explore ideas for creating a better tomorrow and a kinder today. And hopefully, with insight, authenticity and humor; my words, observations and experiences will help you feel calm, centered, intellectually challenged and spiritually enlightened. Alternatively, if you have something you would like to see covered in The Zen Den, just let me know. Your feedback is welcome and valuable to the success of this blog. Finally, my heart is filled with gratitude to have this opportunity to share with all of you.
