Laughter

A counselor thought shared at Appreciation Service by Tasha Cammarata


I want to tell you something.
So don't say a word. Shut your eyes. And listen closely.
I want to make a list of everything about you that makes me smile:

1. When your vibrant red hair is curly - and not straightened.
2. When you swim during first and second period.
3. When you kill mosquitoes from the heights of top bunk.
4. When you study the alphabet.
5. When you return from running before the bugle blows.
6. When you talk about boys.
7. When you explain where you can find Dubai on a map.
8. When you refer to Rufus, Claus or the beast.
9. When you say "Go Greens!"
10. When you borrow your little sister's pants for a dance.
11. When you trip over rocks (but don't get hurt!)
12. When you sing "Face in a Box."
13. When you talk about becoming an actress.
14. When you leave notes under my pillow.
15. When you help your fellow campers.
16. When you say something silly.
17. When you have fun among friends.

These 17 things bring laughter and joy into my life... and they can all be found at Waukeela.
