Laughs. We share them, send them, feel them, and seek them. We sing about laughter, talk about it, write about it, dream of it, and even Tweet about it. Sadly, sometimes we can’t spare even one laugh. But the laughs are there, for the enjoying. Steve Martin said that a comedian’s job is simply “talking about what’s going on. And there will always be something going on.” This is good news, because, of all the gifts life gives us, humor is one of its sweetest. We laugh with our kids, laugh at our pets, and, sometimes, laugh right in the face of danger, fear, or grief. Most of all, we love to laugh with those special people God has placed in our lives. This book celebrates laughter, in all its glory, foibles, and mysteries. In the following pages, you’ll find a literary feast of things ridiculous, remarkable, and downright wonderful. We hope this book will help you celebrate the many ways laughter can surprise, delight, amaze, comfort, and enrich life like nothing else on earth.

The recommended daily dose of laughter is 15 minutes a day. I WANT TO LAUGH gives you the health benefits of laughter. For example, laughter lowers Blood Pressure, promotes better sleep, increases natural killer cells (to attack cancers and tumors), improves respiration, and much much more. In addition, there are hundreds and hundreds of jokes, quips, and quotations for almost every occasion. That's right this book will provide the quotes and jokes you need to get your day or night going with excitement. After reading only a few pages, readers will find themselves emailing these side-splitting jokes to friends, family members, and co-workers.

We all have those days when it's good to be reminded that we are not alone, God is with us, and He will get us through! Keep this book close by for your daily dose of inspiration and prayer along with a good measure of laughter.

With a pen in my hand and a lime green avocado face mask on I embarked on writing a short summary of 365 worth reading events in my life. In these pages are stories I recall from my poodle haired childhood and lead into my life as a girdle wearin, God fearin, full time nanny. My ultimate prayer is that you will learn as I have that God can show us His truth through any situation, no matter how chaotic. Maybe you share my love for my Savior and want a fresh way to look at His word, or maybe you just really need to laugh today. Either way, get ready for a years' worth of daily readings from your real life, less perfect, Mary Poppins.
