Laugh Now, Laugh Later

"Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand." - Mark Twain

Like love, laughter is for everyone. Many people find they feel, act, and do better beneath the umbrella of laughter. Add me to the list, as there is no coincidence how the best moments in my life all involved laughter. To me, laughter is an unappreciated storyline in The Book of Life and should be celebrated in the same as captivating breath as love.
