I love the snort-laugh! It's like a full face embrace of the hilarity, and the snort's surprise to the laugher and everyone around makes the whole moment snowball into a bigger laugh fest. Thanks for this delightful Pep Talk!
I thought it was really telling when the Republicans started making fun of Kamala's laugh given, in the 8 years he's had the spotlight, I've never seen Trump laugh. It's unsettling.
My kids have been making fun of me and my laugh for years, they say I sound like Marge Simpson…. I don’t watch that so I don’t know but ok! Love to laugh, another family story is when you go in a dark theater just wait a second I’ll be cracking up all alone and you can find where I’m sitting (that is true), I’ve laughed so hard strangers in row start laughing at me, with me , because of me… I’ll take all of it!
And the same to you, dear Maggie. I love to laugh and to be a part of a community that believes in the magic of laughter. It really is the best medicine!
This was such a delightful read! I too have a laugh that can be disruptive to the restrained. Thank you for this!
In my family we've jokingly called my laugh "the quiet laugh" because it's anything but.
Well said! Outward laughter is not always accepted…
I tend to snort when I laugh. Unfortunately, I haven’t had one of those laughs lately where I can’t hardly breathe, but those are the good ones!
The best ones!

Yes, the surprise! You get it. Thanks, Brianne.

i danced this morning! And laughing at myself is a daily practice. Talking to myself too :)
gallow’s humor is an art. it’s the spark of light in the darkness.
At 55, it’s not a true laugh unless I pee myself.
Some teehee. Others snort. I’m imagining the symphony of our laughter instruments creating joy music. Thanks, Maggie. 💙

Maggie,
That was beautifully written… we enjoy laughter at our home… like you I have a hearty laugh and a hearty sneeze!

I so appreciate this ... I laugh at nearly everything and I have different laughs for different occasions & situations.
This is a true pep talk. Thank you for that.
