but...when you hear children laughing - how can things be wrong? well, unless they're laughing at you...am i right?
last night i took the oldest niece to see "tangled" and we had a good time. the movie was a treat - well written and the artwork is always amazing with disney. so detailed. though some of the subject matter was a bit over the head of a five year old (about to be six - eek!) i think it was great that big lessons such as sacrifice and honor were being taught through this medium. and it also teaches well that "bad people" are not always in ugly packages. so, thumbs up from me and GA.
today's gratitude - i'm grateful that i can laugh - not only at something funny, but at myself when i mess up. i'm grateful for having friends and family that make me laugh and who light up the room with their smiles.
great post !!!

The laughter of children really is the best...especially when it's a true belly laugh.
ReplyDeleteI love your days of GRATUTUDE...perhaps I'll do this for January after coming back from UK...I won't have much internet connection whilst in the UK...so don't want to commit to anything like this...your niece must LOVE you dearly...the best Aunty!

P.S.Are you hooked on Pinterest yet?
A great gratitude...one that I love...because I love to laugh!
ReplyDeleteI've been MIA lately...now trying to catch up!
I love gratitude posts, and this is a good one. I agree with you. The sound of children laughing is something that can make your worst day become your sunniest.
ReplyDeleteWill have to check out Tangled! My kiddos are at the age now where they're slyly snickering at me...oh, for the days when they couldn't talk, but could still laugh!
ReplyDeleteHey Char
ReplyDeleteYour post really made me smile - thanks for the reminder about what really matters in life! Laughter is the best medicine as they say - I am going to take my youngest brother to see Harry Potter this weekend, I love going to the cinema with him it's always a fun day out. And it will make a change from being stuck in all this snow :)
Happy Monday xxx

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you joined our friday's favorites... this is just what I needed. I just got home from a fun weekend with family from all over. Laughter is the best :-)
I do love the sound of little giggles!
ReplyDeleteI loved having little children that gave me an excuse to go see those fantastic kid movies now I just have to go with my long suffering husband ha ha can't wait for Elle to be old enough to take to the movies
ReplyDeleteoh, char ,
ReplyDeleteyou are so right.
just finished playing Scrabble with my youngest , laughing and being silly.
It doesn't get much better.
One of the things I miss about not having young children underfoot is all the wonderful Disney movies I got to watch.
ReplyDeleteI could go to the theatre by myself, but it's not as fun as with children! Lucky YOU.
The sound of children laughing is the sound of pure joy to me. Glad you enjoyed the movie with the niece.
ReplyDeletechildren's laughter is the best....and lately, i really love it when my dad laughs.....
ReplyDeleteonce again...what a special aunt you are !
I am in love with Kenny's laugh in the mornings... and I love it when you and a friend laugh out loud together and then both sigh at the same time and start laughing again!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLaughter really is medicine! And I sure know how to laugh at myself! Glad you liked the movie...
ReplyDeleteFirst I love the photo and the saying, and well laughter of children make my days much brighter. hugs.
ReplyDeletelaughter is such a gift..such medicine. children know how to do this so well.
ReplyDeleteThe sound of laughter...from children or grownups...is a joy to listen to...and I understand it is good for your health too...I truly believe this!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until my grandchildren are old enough to take to the movies!
It's true! Nothing beats the laughter of a child ... that's the reason I'll act like a COMPLETE dork on Skype ... just so my nephew will laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad to know Tangled is good!
I love your gratitude note. Thanks for posting these lovely thoughts.
