Laughing is VERY healthy. It is one of the ways to cope with pain. When you can laugh about anything, you are on your way to healing.
I know that I can laugh about my M's craziness in a way I could not before.
Once when I was going to college. She took me to the airport.(We were all afraid of flying in my family).As I was getting ready to board the plane, I asked her if she wanted me to call when I got there.
She said,"No , I'll hear if the plane crashes."
Now, I can laugh about it.
James, if you are like me, you are afraid of your feelings. When any different feeling comes out, you get nervous.. I still am afraid of my feelings, so I understand.Today, I had a "new" feeling and I felt very unsettled and insecure.
Laughter is very healing and shows that YOU are healing. I am so happy to see your progress. I feel a joy in my heart, James! Love Ami
