Nobody can Laugh at you if you are Laughing too

One of the most important things about being truly happy my mother taught me, I think without really knowing or even trying to. It came from a part of her that she didn't create or grown into, it just existed. It came naturally. There was this Sillyness about her. She and my grandmother, they both had it in their veins. They taught me to never be afraid to be silly or ashamed to laugh out loud at the world but mostly at myself!! If you go through life letting everything that people say about you pierce the skin, you will be one bloody mess by the time you hit your thirties. Trust me, you will need that laughter, that shameless goofy behavior if only to disguise all the other crazy things your body and mind start to do to you at 31 and 32 and on, and on.
When people make fun of other people they are rarely ever doing it for the laughter, they are usually hiding behind it so you won't see that they are just sad, or scared or lonely. There is nothing more brave then being able to recognize our own flaws, to look them dead in the face and to laugh at ourselves. A big fat belly laugh!!! Who cares who sees me!!! Your inner fool will set you free!!
