Laughter fixes it all

Josh and I are no stranger to laughing. At least once a day one of us will do or say something absolutely ridiculous that we end up laughing uncontrollably. The laughter I get to share with my husband is one of my favorite parts of our relationship. We truly complement each other when it comes to sense of humor.

This week has been a little more trying than normal but our ability to laugh has not been deterred. It feels like every time we turn around something is not going right.

On Monday I was going to hot glue a part of our wedding memorabilia together so that we can hang it on our wall. After forgetting I turned the glue gun on and completing several other tasks, I rushed back to the previous project. Since I wasn’t paying close attention I ended up getting a lot of hot glue on my finger. OUCH. My mood was not a good one at this point. Once the initial shock and pain faded away I moved on to making dinner.

I stacked all of the dinner dishes in the sink and let them soak so Josh could wash them. Somehow he knocked one of the pans filled with soapy and greasy water all over the floor. It was a disgusting mess. As we rushed to clean up he bumped my laptop and it fell to the ground.

As dumb as it sounds, I couldn’t help but laugh. There was nothing we could do about the situations we had found ourselves in that night, but we had to look incredibly incompetent. Being able to laugh at the goofy situations we find ourselves in really helped to alleviate the mood of the evening. Had we both just gotten frustrated we could have ruined our whole night, but by simply laughing we were able to recognize things for what they were; mistakes and mishaps.


Things are not always going to go smoothly, but when it’s appropriate, I think it is important to lift the mood and just laugh.
