49 - I love to laugh

Hahahaha!
Loud and long and clear
I love to laugh
It's getting worse ev'ry year
The more I laugh
The more I fill with glee
And the more the glee
The more I'm a merrier me

Good old Uncle Albert (and the Sherman Brothers) from Mary Poppins had it about right. And, I really do love to laugh. I love people who make me laugh and I like it when I am funny (or I think I am) and people laugh with me. I especially love to hear my nieces and nephews laugh. There isn't much that is a nicer sound than that.

Good sense of humor is even on my list of must have's in a spouse.

I found this quote from President Uchtdorf and thought he said it much better than I could:

Listen for the voice of the Father in the bounties and beauties of nature, in the gentle whisperings of the Spirit. In your daily interactions with others, in the words of a hymn, in the laughter of a child, listen for His voice. If you listen for the voice of the Father, He will lead you on a course that will allow you to experience the pure love of Christ.

#49 on my list of Favorite Things is LAUGHTER.
