Are We Having Fun Yet? Rev. Paul Gonyea

"I think that time spent laughing is the closest to our god-self we ever get, especially when we're laughing with those we love. Psychologists tell us that couples who laugh together a lot argue less, they make love more, and they have a lower rate of divorce and separation. That's not surprising. We really can't laugh and be angry at the same time. When we stop taking ourselves and our problems so seriously, we can stop keeping score. We can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop whenever things are going well. We can start looking at the "fun periods" as being the norm instead of the exception. We can enjoy the present, instead of worrying about the future."
