Laughter

The word of the day yesterday was laughter, because yesterday was filled to the brim with it.  In my grammars class, we were learning parts of speech in a sentence, and one of the things we discussed was that whether an action is voluntary or not determines the part of speech it is.  The example was laughter, because beyond a pity laugh, laughter is totally involuntary.  I think it is the soul's way of trying to leap out of us because of all the joy.  The most beautiful thing about laughter to me is that it is so human.  Everyone laughs, and everyone knows what it is like to let out a really good belly laugh.  It is such a pure form of expression.  There is no denying yourself while you are laughing.  It is something we cannot control, sometimes even we don't feel that chuckle coming, but in that moment while you are snorting, wheezing, throwing your head back, squeaking, or however it is you laugh, you are completely you and, even if just for the moment, completely loving it.
