The Power of Laughter and Friendship

If laughter is the best medicine, then friendship is the prescription.

Do 
     you 
           have 
                    a friend 
                                 with 
an unforgettable laugh?

When was the first time you heard a memorable laugh?

Is it still in your life?

Think of it now.

Are you smiling?

Do you have a WhatsApp thread like Sara - or a similar comms format with a select few girlfriends or buddies?

How long has it been running?

How many messages per day do you exchange?

What do you talk about?

Why do you talk about this stuff with these people?

Laughter. It’s the universal connector, the antidote to distance, and the secret sauce for surviving life’s absurdities.

So, next time you hear a friend’s laugh—whether in person or pinging through your phone—remember: you’re not just sharing a joke, you’re building resiliency.

Go ahead, laugh out loud.

It’s contagious, and it just might be the core memory you didn’t know you needed.

Find your Rick, Martin and Sara.

If that special someone isn’t IN your life at the moment, just pick up the phone and call them.

UPDATE (27 May 2025)

My friend Cecelia sent me a hangry text scolding me for not biggin’ up her too-big-to-fail LOL.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have 🧐 for the last 30 years.

If you you want to share a LOL with someone send it to me and I’ll post it here or directly to your friend if you want to surprise them.
