Laughter is the best medicine

Laughter is something that all people have in common, all have experienced such as myself. it is just part of human nature and it has played a key role in human culture. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. for me, one simple laugh can make me go from a bad mood to a good mood instantly. I always thought of myself as being in a good mood. I Was always nice to people. I enjoyed helping others when they needed it. And I Was always into doing things with my family. I don’t really stay in bad moods that long. I always enjoyed hanging out with family or playing pass with football with my friends with my friends.I enjoyed fishing every now and then, i enjoyed boating and snowmobiling in the winter

I can say I have had multiple times where I was having a bad day, just nothing was going right and all it took was to just sit down with a couple of my buddies and crack jokes and it just overall instantly put me in a better mode. But one moment stood out to me the most. I remember it was around springtime and a few of my friends decided it was a really nice day to toss a football and i ended up hurting my knee really bad. I ended up having to wear a full leg cast for about a month and the doctor told me after that month I would have to wear a slightly smaller cast and go to physical therapy for another month or 2.

I remember I couldn’t do anything, I could barely walk and had to go everywhere with crutches it also hurt to walk with the crutches because the armrest would dig into the lower parts of my arm. and it made me feel really uncomfortable and would put me in a bad mood due to the pain I couldn’t go out with my friends, I couldn’t go to work and I could really do anything but sit around and do nothing even when I thought I was in a good mood other family members would tell me differently. I was always in a mad mood because I couldn’t do anything. My dad tried to get me out of the house and asked if I wanted to go fishing. my mom tried asking if I wanted to go four-wheeling with my older brother because he had just gotten off work but I didn’t feel like doing anything. I didn’t want to eat, I didn’t want to watch tv and I even didn’t want to talk to my parents. But one day My mom had done something that kind of made me laugh a little. It reminded me of when I was little I would be in a sad mood and my mom would do something silly to cheer me up and it made me feel good. just having little things remind me about how much those things made me laugh and how the laughter made me feel good inside. it made me get away from the negative mood I was in and made me look at the situation from a different point of view. Just that simple action I made that made me laugh help me take a better look at the things around me. It made me realize how lucky I was to have a family to take care of me and to help me get there for my injury. the laughing help me forget about being sad about not being able to do anything and instead helped me feel grateful for what I had.
