My Inspiration: Name that Blog

I had wanted to take up blogging a long time ago, but the biggest thing that kept me from diving in feet first was the lack of a name for the blog.  I tossed around so many ideas--I won't even tell you what they were because they were complete crap.  I was in need of some serious creative ex-lax if I was going to make this blog happen--and one day, seemingly out of nowhere, it came to me.

One of my absolutely favorite shows growing up was "Growing Pains".  We watched it ALL. THE. TIME.  I'll admit it, Kirk Cameron's Mike was a hunk and I wanted to marry him.  But, for the sake of this post, that's irrelevant.  I always loved the theme song for GP.  So when I went to You Tube to watch/listen to it again after so many years, I found my blog title in the lyrics.  The last line in the chorus of the song is We've got each other, Sharin' the laughter and love.  I changed the wording ever-so-slightly and hence was born the blog Sharing in Laughter and Love.  

For me, I wanted the blog to be predominantly about our family's life.  I can't even begin to put into words how much I love my family--in fact I'm pretty sure there are no words to describe the depth of my love for them.  But what I can tell you is this.  There is no shortage of laughter or love amongst us.  As long as I have them, I have everything I'll ever need.


Listen to the full version of the song here: As Long as We Got Each Other

Show me that smile again
Oh, show me that smile
Don't waste another minute on your cryin'
We're nowhere near the end
We're nowhere near
The best is ready to begin

All in a cloudy daze
I look into your eyes and see them shining out
Holding you close this way
Holding you this way
Is like having summer everyday
Ooh, ooh

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'

As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love

Promise me here and now
Nothing but jokes
Will never come between us
You can depend on me
'Cause I need you like the air I breathe
Oh, oh

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'

As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands
Baby, you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'

As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Oh, baby, rain or shine
All the time
We got each other
Sharin' the laughter and love
