Seeing the Lighter Side of Life

Hi friends,

I don’t know about you, but I have lots of seriousness & responsibilities in my life. So, when I have an opportunity to see the lighter side of life or be silly, I do it! Particularly in my personal life, I try to laugh as often as possible.  As adults, we tend to me more serious and laugh less often than we did as children. Yes, we have more responsibilities and demands on our time, but we can decide how we go about our day. Do we want to go about our days in a 100% serious mode or allowing ourselves a few laughs and smiles throughout the day. Of course, there are “appropriate moments” to joke around and others where being serious is called for. By silly moments, I don’t mean being immature or over-the-top, I simply mean having fun and light moments!

Overall, I try not to take myself too seriously (even though others may think I am too serious sometimes).  Seeing the lighter side of things in life can be fun….and you know what I am going to say next, having fun adds to the happiness in our lives!

My most frequent “partners in fun” are my sis & Lola! We are so comfortable around each other that we can also be silly together. Another one is Claudia, my friend at work. Our jobs are very serious & we have lots of deadlines to meet  (and we take our responsibilities very seriously), but we also find a way to laugh together and smile, every day! That makes our day seem less intense and stressful.

Here are a few samples of some recent fun moments, aka: silliness! Hope you like them…and they make you smile!

How do you have fun each day? Do you laugh everyday? Do you think being silly is immature?

Hugs,

Paola

Leaving an event with friends, we took a show group picture in the elevator. We had joked about shoes throughout the evening at an event, so it was the perfect way to end the night!

Lola and I at the gift shop in a casino, after the FWSD Spring Showcase. We just couldn’t resist taking a picture with these hats on as we were joking about preparing for opening day at the Races. We were laughing because we kept hitting each other with the brims of the hats.  The other pictures came out blurry because we were laughing so much, in one of the pics I am bending from laughing so hard!

At a “zombie” themed birthday party with my sis & nephew, she pretended to kiss the zombie while my nephew made a funny face of shock!

This picture was taken about 10 times, but the lighting never seemed quite  right, so we kept posing for more pictures. It made us laugh….eventually, we took the pic with an IPhone, that one came out great!

We knew this picture would look silly, but I couldn’t resist taking a picture with the 3D glasses on! My “partner in fun” Lola agreed to pose with me 🙂

kids silly faces

A “silly face” pic of the kids! Children always seem happy to pose for a silly face pic! At what point do adults stop taking “silly face” pics?
