At the height of laughter, the universe is flung
into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
~Jean Houston
I definitely can't take credit for taking this photo of the day, but seeing it gave me so much joy that I just had to share it.
Looking at this picture I can't help but smile and think, wow, children and animals really do have it figured out. I don't know the story behind the shot, but I can't help but giggle every time I look at it. The joy on both faces are so pure and genuine, a perfect image reminder that life is too short to take too seriously, and that no matter what each day holds, we hold the power to control our own emotional responses, choosing whether to stew in misery or...just laugh.
When in doubt or feeling low, think back to this picture, at the pure joy of being as free as a child; laughing, playing, creating, exploring with no other motive except to just live. Find joy in every day pleasures, fleeting moments, simple satisfactions that trigger smiles from memory. For at the end of it all, life is a series of memories we can either dwell on in regret, or throwing all caution to the wind, toss our heads back in laughter as we remember each moment that brought joy and happiness. An image unhindered by stress and man-made pressures, as free as a child playing beside her pet camel, both encompassing pure peace, tranquility, and happiness in all it's glory. Smile...everything is going to be OK.
