Look what I found!!

Tickles

Everything sounds better with laughter and what can be sweeter than the sound of a giggling child. On days when nothing else works, I just tickle my way to laughter. It’s an instant mood booster , one doesn’t need a reason for it and it’s free. It’s funny how tickles have overtaken my family. My 7 yr old might be in the toilet when I hear him asking me to tickle him….on the toilet seat!!! Tickle him while I’m driving, tickle when he goes to bed or tickle when he is mid air on a swing!! Even when I’m not up to it, his persistent request for  “tittle-tittle-tittle” (tickle-tickle-tickle) makes my house echo with so much happiness. I would suggest you get your share of tickles now.

It’s funny how happiness can sneak in from all kinds of places, we just have to be watchful or we might just miss it.
This was my strategy. I would love to hear what keeps you smiling.
