Laughter is a comforting sound, especially when it comes from friends and family. It generates a feeling of happiness and a sense of belonging. Laughter heals inner wounds, if only temporary, but it is a moment that can transform a weak moment to a profound one.
In the last week, I've noticed how laughter can bring people closer together, not necessarily one specific example can be noted because there are so many, but it just tells me the power of laughter. It can happen while waiting to sign-up, hanging out after open play, or on the court.
At open play, I will be the first person to bust out in giggles over my own mistake or a bad play. Those giggles can be loud and, on occasion, be heard when someone makes a silly play by mistake, of course. Laughter in any form is great for the soul. It can take even the most tense moment and turn it around.
And like one of my favorite movie line states "laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." What an even better emotion. Without going into specifics, lately volleyballers have provided this and for that I'm very thankful.
