Had an interesting moment at work today.

I was waiting for the public washrooms to clear so I could clean them, and while I waited, I noticed a little girl in a shopping cart with her mom. When she saw me, she squealed with delight and began "talking" to me in baby chatter, waving her arms around and generally having a great time.

I couldn't help myself - I started laughing.

(There may have been some giggles involved, but I refuse to confirm or deny)

What happened next was the really interesting part. Up till that point I'd been struggling with pain and feeling kinda tired, but after my "conversation" with that little girl, my pain level reduced and I felt as refreshed as if I had just had a nap.

Make of that what you will, but maybe, laughter really is good medicine

(And giggles count, although I still aint saying I giggled ...)
