I try to fill my days with as much laughter as possible, and I have always been that way. Sometimes I laugh when I am uncomfortable, sometimes when I am nervous, sometimes amid tears, but most of the time I laugh with joy.
I laughed a lot today. Henry's school was closed again so he and Mike did a bunch of random things throughout the day and spent some time at home. I walked the dog during my lunch break, and Henry asked if he could come with us on his bike. He's a decent bike rider, but I will not let him out of my sight because he does not always pay attention to cars on the road (kind of a problem). Because I was slower on foot than he on wheels, I gave him boundaries in the form of mailboxes. I let him get ahead of me by 5 mailboxes at a time, and he accepted his boundaries with gusto. He would count each mailbox that he passed at the top of his lungs, and I laughed heartily during each chorus of "ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE."
His enthusiasm is contagious and just delightful.
