A Poem and Note To Bring Joy

Curious… It’s Time for a Little Playful Silliness

When did you last laugh?

If it’s been a while since you last laughed, how about we lighten up a little here? Get a tad silly. Irreverent…

Everybody needs to laugh sometimes don’t they? We’ve been designed to do so…

Are we all making the most of this beautiful skill we have though?

Did you know a huge full-on belly laugh can be an excellent way to release stress & physical tensions that are built up in our bodies? Imagine if we all ended — and even began — our days with a laugh like this?

😆

What would our world be like to live in…?

Hi … words I’ve shared so far here have mostly been about enjoying greater health in different ways… and enjoying more calm:)

And it’s on the note of enjoyment I’d especially like to dwell with you today… because sometimes we have to remind ourselves to enjoy life more don’t we.

To be playful. And take a lighter view (and yes, I do realise cultivating a sense of humour likely can’t fix all that ails the world), however enjoying silly moments in life — and really revelling in them — can help make a huge difference to how we feel in the moment… and that can then change the whole course of your day… evening… week… and beyond…

And ripple out to influence others too… in ways you may never know about…

So the poem I’m sharing below does just that… gets a bit silly. And it also does ask us a big question (perhaps the biggest???)

Why are we here?… yet it was written when I was in a daft mood.

And I’m hoping you get to enjoy these kind of moments too… you likely know the ones (or recall them from childhood), where you let fly with whatever comes out your mouth, and it amuses you. Makes you smile.

A little. Or a lot.

So have you been silly lately?

I’m asking because it’s in our lighthearted fun moments that life becomes brighter feeling… and it then helps set the tone for more positive moments in future too.

So I’m sharing one of my slightly daft moments below with you now, because I want to encourage you to be silly too. Especially if life has been feeling tough.

When your mood lightens, your interactions with others alter for the better. You’re able to go about your days feeling lighter-hearted. It has a snowball effect in your own life… and ripples out to influence others as well…

Would you like to live in a world where people are happier?

Well you can help influence this. It can begin with you. So here’s the silly little ditty I’ve called:

Curious …

And ~ full confession ~ I don’t consider this to be my very best work (I have many poems written, and this was languishing on my ‘don’t show anyone pile’), however sometimes it’s fun to share daft words we write… and I embrace ‘perfectly imperfect’ nowadays. So please consider yourself warned (if it’s Shakespeare you’re expecting, well, you might want to scroll on by 😁)

Here we go…

Have you ever wondered why we are here?

Underneath the Sky?

On top of the Earth?

Why Rainbows appear?

And Dogs speak bark?

This life holds Infinite Mysteries…

Now I realise it likely isn’t the finest poem you’ll ever read. And if you’ve read previous words I shared here during my first week, you’ll know this is pretty different (you can have a look here if you’d like to see my very first words… or here for words that are helpful for anyone who’s struggling ~ a lot, or even just a little ~ with feelings of overwhelm in some way)

I do however hope you’ve enjoyed pondering some of life’s biggest mysteries here with me in this latest poem (heavy dose of sarcasm with cheesy grin inserted here 😁)

I’m curious to know if you have a mystery of your own you’d like to share in the comments?

A playful silly one! Like do we really have to wash bath towels? They dry us when we’re clean, don’t they…

I definitely didn’t read a whole thread discussing this online once. Nope. Not me. But say (hypothetically speaking) if someone had spent precious time doing such a thing… would it maybe have been time better spent laughing?

Mmm… I think I know the answer to this one…

Oh & if you do happen to have figured out why we are here … only the whole meaning-of-life thing, you know… then please go ahead & share this too…

‘Cos. Well.

Why are we here???

Also mmm…😁 🤔

(And how come Dogs speak bark too…? Does anyone know?)

Anyway… I digress…

I hope you have a wonderful evening ahead of you ~ or day (depending on the time you read this)… and that you enjoy some laughter as well…

Maybe you’ll deliberately go looking for a humorous article on Medium next? Or choose to search for a comedy movie… or humour filled TV show?Perhaps a daft online clip that has you roaring with laughter… or cosy up with a funny book?

Consistently ‘feeding’ ourselves mentally with uplifting content can greatly affect our mood, in a positive way…

So when you next laugh, embrace it* ~ it can really be one of life’s best medicines

*keep it going as long as you possibly can… immerse yourself in it… shake your whole body… relaxing your jaw… your shoulders… your belly & more. Laugh out the tensions and stresses and tightness. Then return to thinking about what got you started… restart the giggles… and keep going for a long time…

Then afterwards, see how you’re feeling…

So before we say bye for now, I’m wondering if you can recall the last time you enjoyed a really good laugh like I described above?

Or even a chuckle. Just a tiny one?

If it’s been a while, I hope it happens very soon for you 😁
