AA Thought for the Day

July 9, 2003

Laughter

But we aren't a glum lot.
If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence,
they wouldn't want it.
We absolutely insist on enjoying life. . .
So we think cheerfulness and laughter
make for usefulness.
Outsiders are sometimes shocked
when we burst into merriment
over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past.
But why shouldn't we laugh?
We have recovered,
and have been given the power to help others.

Thought to Ponder....

Take time to laugh -- it is the music of the soul.
