That’s Not Funny!
Sometimes the best laughter occurs when you are not even trying to
laugh. In fact, it happens when you are trying your best to be serious
and respectful, but somehow your funny bone gets tickled and it’s all
over but the laughter at that point. Since April Fool’s Day is this
month, your family might enjoy this new tradition…designed to make you
laugh! Have all of your family members sit in a circle with your heads
bowed. On the count of 3, everyone must look up into the eyes of
another family member and 3 rules apply: NO TALKING, NO SMILING and
absolutely NO LAUGHING. You only get to talk if you see someone with
even the smallest of a grin! Point at them and shout: “That’s Not
Funny!” Continue until you really can play the game with no smiles at
all.
Singin' Up a Storm
There is something about singing that makes everyone smile and let go
of all of their inhibitions. So why not set up a Karoke Night the first
nice Spring night and let everyone sing away with costumes and all!
Choose an emcee for this event and make sure everyone comes prepared
with their musical numbers. They can write their own lyrics, or they
can lip sync to a song. Encourage each other to have props and create a
microphone out of a wooden spoon. Make it even more entertaining by
doing it in the nighttime with the lights low and a bright flashlight
to illuminate the stage. Have the emcee give out awards at the end of
the evening: best costume, best voice, best dance and best overall
performance.
Recipe for Joy
When something makes us feel good, pretty soon a smile fills our face
and before we know it, we are filled with an indescribable feeling of
contentment. This sense of satisfaction can be wrapped up in one little
word: JOY! Joy can be the isolated moment we feel when someone hugs us.
It might be the second the suns peeks out from behind the clouds. Maybe
it is the ongoing feeling of being loved and appreciated. Whatever it
is, JOY feels good and we should strive to have as much of it in our
lives as possible. This spring, as you and your family start to
see the flowers bloom and the weather is warming up, what a perfect
time to ask the most important people in their life to write their
Recipes for Joy on a 4 x 6 card. Keep these moments of joy somewhere
where you can read them as a family, and at any time, feel as though
all of you are wrapped in a hug on a bright sunny day.
