All things joy.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, now and forever!

Okay…Where do I even begin? We were all busy bees last week and created a lot of content, exchanged perspectives, idea, experiences. One thing lead to another and boom, I decided this week’s prompt will be about joy, fun, laughter.

The inspiration for this prompt comes from a mixture of things: your witty responses to last Thursday’s transformational storytelling, the newsletter on Laughter Yoga combined with your feedback on it and, last but not least, the cleverly articles inspired by the weekend prompts. All of these things combined made me realize what a great sense of humor everybody has and how you all try your best, despite sometimes unpleasant circumstances, to maintain a positive outlook on life.

For that reason, I’m hoping to discover the little things that bring you joy in life. What makes you smile? What makes you laugh? How do you make others smile/laugh?

Also…Your humor! What kind of humor is it? Personally, I have a thing for dark humor *evil laugh sound effect*.

As always, be as creative as you wish. And yes, I’ll keep repeating it like a broken record: There is no right or wrong, there just is!

Looking forward to reading everyone’s article and wishing you all a blissful week!
