Sometimes life can seem pretty serious.
Especially if you're watching the news on a regular basis or you give any of your attention to the growing plethora of haters and naysayers.
It's good to be reminded that just laughing and being silly can brighten up your day in an instant.
Yesterday I was feeling a bit serious.
A bit frowny, and a bit burdened.
You know the kind of feeling.
My love came into the kitchen as I stood there wearing my "disapproval face", contemplating things like responsibilities, chores and the fact that the bin needed emptying. (I was feeling quite sore about this last fact.)
He took one look at me and immediately put his hands on his hips, looked up into the air with a sniff and started bobbing up and down from left to right in some kind of inexplicably daft, swaying rhythm.
A few seconds passed as he continued and I gravely regarded his antics without reacting.
What do you think of this then? he asked after completing a few more bobs.
Not much. I replied haughtily.
Fine. I shall take my incredible potato dance elsewhere then.
And he waltzed out of the room.
My "disapproval face" cracked into a smile and I burst into laughter at his sheer ridiculousness.
And just like that, the world was a better place and the overflowing bin no longer mattered.
Apparently, it was I who was really being silly by taking things too seriously and forgetting to just grin at the crazy, upside down world we (by an infinitesimally small chance) are living in.
So my message today is for anyone else who has donned their "disapproval face" this morning....
Don't forget to be silly, people.
Don't forget to be silly.
