The cure for almost anything<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just give me and my friend Greg half an hour and we’ll be drying tears from our eyes, reminiscing about our high school days. We met as freshmen and have remained the best of friends for nearly thirty years. Maintaining adult friendships is hard\u2014especially with families, kids, and all of the time commitments that come from that. Even though we live in the same city, we only see each other a few times a year but when we do it’s as if not a moment has passed since our last conversation, and time ceases to exist. They say, \u201cLaughter is the best medicine.\u201d I say, \u201cLaughter with your best friend will cure almost anything.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

People<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surround me with the right people. There are some people, or combinations of people, who when I’m with I can’t help but laugh and goof around with. There is something about the chemistry of a group of people that elicits strong emotion. It is perhaps the history of experience we have together that has built that over time. Which makes me think, if we want to optimize for more happiness or joy in life, laughter if a pretty good proxy for that. And if it’s just a matter of getting a group of the right people together, perhaps the ultimate currency is not just time, but time spent with the right people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Playing with Words<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy word play\u2014plot twists, puns, double meanings, and so on. Use those and I will laugh and join in.<\/p>

But joking should be in jest\u2014being mean on purpose is not funny. For instance, while Don Rickles could be brutal, you could tell he and those around him knew he was joking and not serious.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

dog and leaves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can laugh at really good memes but the video of Stella the dog jumping into leaves <\/a>truly brings me joy. I got a birthday card from my daughter that said, \u201cNot just happy but dog with a new toy<\/em> happy. That\u2019s how your birthday should be.\u201d<\/p>

I\u2019ve had dogs all my life but am in a situation now where I can’t have one. But seeing the complete joy of dogs will always cause me to laugh.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
