Not a tough choice, right?
This morning I logged onto facebook and found this link to the most adorable baby laughing.
How can you not smile when you see something like this? I shared it with Gary. And then I shared another one I had seen last week that was similarly charming. We smiled, laughed a little and said, hey this is not a bad way to start a rainy monday.
And then the damn morning news spewed its usual horror stories, one in which a toddler was left in the hospital in critical condition. Sandwiched in between tsunami/earthquake/irradiated spinach/air strikes… yadayad-bad news-yada.
Talk about a buzz kill.
That is when I turned to Gary and said, “We can choose to start our day with the laughing baby or the tragic toddler.” These 2 videos currently have over 7 million and 12 million hits. I am thinking perhaps if more of us started our day with the laughing babies we would probably be a lot healthier.
I am not saying that we should not empathize or be outraged by the tragic toddlers… but maybe if more people unwrapped their day with a little more joy and a lot less tragedy we would be a hell of a lot better off.
Just saying.
i could cry but i don't have time 
Paper-ripping Laughing baby is a Saint Louisian. I work with someone who was in the delivery room.
They look like one fun family!
Ah, love this cutie patootie…:))) In information overload world, I had seen this laughing baby but watched it again. Thanks again for offering what I see as a little more balance in the world of chaos….
