Live an AMAZING Life: Laugh at yourself
Amazing Life Manifesto, Dreaming //
Earlier this week we were outside walking together and our conversation went a little like this:
Ryan: “We go together like peanut butter and jelly”
Liz: “I love peanut butter and jelly! What kind of peanut butter would you be?”
Ryan: “Chunky of course” suddenly feeling a little self conscious of my weight and what the implications of being chunky peanut butter might entail I quickly changed my mind “…er, wait, I don’t want to be chunky, I’d be smooth because I am so smooth ;)”
Liz: “How about smooth with just a few little nuts”
I think we will stop the story there. :) ….
This past week while we were editing photos from Kait and Adam’s wedding we came across a particularly funning photo of Liz at the end of the night. I showed it to her and we couldn’t help but laugh. Check out the photo below and leave your best caption in the comments section. :)
Whoever said laughter is the best medicine was definitely right. This was the second to last photo taken at Kait and Adam’s wedding. I was setting the camera up to take a self portrait of Liz and I with Kait and Adam and did a quick test shot for exposure. Little did Liz know her mid yawn/snear/my arm itches pose (we still have no idea what she was doing) would end up on the blog. :)
Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives and our to do lists that we forget to cut ourselves some slack. Life is supposed to be fun, people! Don’t take yourself so seriously all the time. Allow yourself to laugh at yourself and the rest of the things weighing on your shoulders will suddenly feel so much lighter. Today give yourself grace, laugh a little louder, and most importantly have fun with life!
… And because it wouldn’t be fair to just laugh at Liz, here is my best “It’s the end of the world” face from a session earlier this year.
