This is what I’m starting to discover about developing a habit of laughing for no reason, regarding arguments with those I love: Contentment feels like a more natural emotional state for us than fear and sadness.
Laughter helps me be more quick to forgive and forget and start giggling again. I’m not such an expert at laughing at nothing that I can laugh in the middle of a painful argument, nor do I think that would be appropriate. But the increasing ability to “bounce back” after an argument is surprising me.
If I can remember to capitalize on the fun times, to laugh as much as possible when I do feel like it — then my sad and fearful times seem less overwhelming and don’t last as long.
May joy, healing and forgiveness flow in and from our relationships.
