Sometimes simple is the best way to go and simple for today has to do with laughter. I am thankful for the things that make me smile, chuckle, giggle, or laugh...
...I am very appreciative of all the hilarious facebook posts that my cousin writes. If I need to laugh, I just check out what she has written on any given day.
...I am thankful for writers like Jack Gantos who can make me laugh hysterically as I read their books.
...I am thankful for friends who have the gift of humor and can always say something that is funny.
