Interesting quote by Stephen King, whose works of fiction are not known for their humor! Glad you had such a great time!

My greatest wish was that I could learn to write funny. Maybe in my next life. When I read my first Janet Evanovich book I was hooked. One of my first post was about not having a funny bone. We can all dream though. Laughter is huge and vital.

Love to laugh. It’s like sleep but awake — you can process, heal, let go of the past and grow. It can transform something devastating into something priceless.

Laughter, real laughter lurks behind the mundane and waits, sometimes for years until the time is right. And then out of the blue it pounces, grabs you by the guts and twists until it hurts. But my god it feels good. Great post thanks!
