A Nation for All
Laughter is a language we all can understand…
One of my favorite things to experience day to day is smiles and laughter. I love to run across a picture of a beautiful smile, or one that you can tell they were in the middle of a gut-busting laughter session. This beautiful scene shows what appears to be siblings, having a great laugh about something. I’d imagine they are trying to entertain the baby, or even laughing at something the baby did. The young lady in the middle, with her radiant smile and relaxed stance, embodies the most joy!
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.” – Charles Dickens
It’s moments like these that remind us of the simplicity of joy found in everyday life. Whether it’s a playful joke, a tickle fight, or the innocent antics of the youngest among us, laughter has the power to transform our day, uplift our spirits, and bond us in a shared experience. Laughter truly is a universal language that everyone speaks fluently.

You goat games on your phone?
About two years ago my friends and I tried “goat yoga” for the first time, and if anyone has not had the opportunity to try it out, I highly recommend it! We had a blast and got so many amazing pictures throughout the session. Some of the photos were amazing, some were completely embarrassing (yes, they are on Facebook for the world to see), and some were just blah. The photo that I’ve chosen to crop is one that was just blah – it’s not a bad photo, but I have so many better photos from that occasion. Since it’s not the most amazing goat yoga photo, I thought it might work better as a funny goat expression photo. You would be surprised how many emotions are conveyed in photos of goats…
In this photo, “You goat games on your phone?” by Delanie Ornstein (myself), this goat looks like she’s staring directly at you with an expression that looks a lot like a child asking if you have games on your phone. If this had been one of my favorite photos from goat yoga, I would not have felt comfortable cropping it because the crop takes away from the viewer’s awareness of the event. Since it was one of the less interesting photos from that day, I now much prefer this edition for the humor it provides.
