A Good Rule

I met some friends tonight for coffee, as I do fairly routinely. The stories were tragic and funny. All told I found myself belly laughing much more than I have in recent days. The affect on me is noticeable right now as I feel lighter than I have in a while. This group tends to adhere to a simple and affectionately termed "rule 62," which is "don't ale yourself too seriously." That seems to be exactly what I needed.
