Infectious

It starts as a rumble somewhere in the back of your throat. Then grows to a dance that tickles your belly and explodes into spasms that hold you mesmerized just twitching and leaking as the uncontrollable laugh is born.

The reason is never clear as to what exactly triggers the laugh but sometimes it is something so silly, a word or gesture that starts the path.

It doesn't take much and the results are infectious that before long the whole group is wound up in a ball on the floor, gasping for air as the joy of the moment takes hold.

I have heard the saying that "laughter is the best medicine" and I whole-heartily agree that this is the best medicine for me.  Laughing and laughing and laughing some more, brings me to a healing place inside, if only all our troubles could be solve with a gut-wrenching, all consuming uncontrollable laugh...
