Laughter

I heard myself laughing out loud at something someone was saying on the bus yesterday. And it hit me – I'm starting to laugh more. It was a pleasant surprise. I may have been laughing more lately, but it took that moment to make me aware.

I feel as if I am making progress with this realization. Just as when I noticed that I cried less and began talking coherently, so, too, the laughter is an obvious sign to me that I am getting better, feeling better. It is an outward sign that things inside my head are starting to turn in a more positive direction.

And that's not such a bad place to be!
