I am lucky. I know this all the way to my core. I have a man in my life who is my rock, my best friend, my love, and someone that loves everything about me. Of course, like all couples, there are days when I could just scream at my husband because it can feel like he is my third child. Oh boy!
What is one thing I know for sure? The one thing that makes us so good, even in tough times? He knows how to make me laugh. You see, I have this tendency to take myself, and life, too seriously. I can over analyze and hypothesize the crap out of something before it even occurs. I want to think of every scenario so I can be prepared… ahh that perfectionist in me! It is a work in progress.
You see, here is the deal. I feel lucky to have a husband who accepts me for who I am and loves me, no matter what. I feel lucky that he brings me laughter, sometimes at the expense of myself. This is usually the best form because it helps me to snap out of my ‘seriousness’ and lightens the load for the rest of the day.

This image is a perfect example of us laughing on our wedding day. I so vividly remember this… I had started to put his ring on the wrong hand and he looked at me with that look and we both just busted up laughing. It makes me smile, just looking at this image.
Do you have someone in your life or family that helps you to laugh? Have they helped you laugh yet today? What have you taken too seriously today that you can try to laugh at? Please share in the comments below!
Much love,
