Hope

I'M THANKFUL FOR LAUGHTER

and friends who've shared it with me over the years.

There's something timeless about that kind of joy—

it's healing, it's human—

and it brings us closer than words ever could.

I'm drawn to people who laugh well and often.

But I also love the peace in quiet moments,

like drifting off by the fire.

With any luck,

tomorrow will bring more laughter.
