Happy Birthday to the Birthday Cake...ha ha ha!

You can have your cake and eat it too… laughing 26 minutes will give a decidedly sweet rush to our day. Celebrating the birthday of the birthday cake from 55BC, we can get into the celebratory mode as we come into the final week of Getting Jolly in July. 

In this final week what fun it will be to see how far we’ve come and what all we have accomplished!

Woohoo 26 minutes! The body is alive, refreshed and ready to take on all…wooo! After laughing all weekend in the class I didn’t know what today might look like in the laughter department. What I have discovered is that there is always a ready supply and the more you use it the better it stretches the muscle and the more pliable and flexible it will be. It also makes it easy to reach! 

Today on the call they were waiting for me and off we laughed. As usual there were several silent laughers, who have found that laughing while doing menial tasks is a wonderful way to oxygenate and use it in a way that is expansive. For those who don’t want to slow down, this is a wonderful technique! 

I found I laughed different sounds in support of others and found myself enjoying it too. Though everyone popped off the call as it ended at 9:27am CST to give us that last full 26th minute. I just received a text from someone who said they were on mute though exercised her way laughing through the call… love the change this is making!  

In hearing one woman share of her silent meetings for religion yesterday, it also reminds us that this is a laughing meditation and a way to be of no mind, just laughing. Let the mirth bubble up and take over for a while while we sit back into it and just enjoy. A great rejuvenater. 

So that’s what having your cake and eating it too is all about! How will you take in your slice of laughter today?
