When I‘m having a bad day, nothing cheers me up more than I Love Lucy. Laughter is the best medicine! (This also happens to be my favorite episode, L.A. At Last! with the gorgeous William Holden 😍)
On my darkest days,
Lucy is balm for my soul.
I laugh through the tears.

Today‘s word is kenopsia.
Kenopsia: the atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet.
Abandoned amusement park —
Echoes of laughter
float lazily on the breeze:
ghosts of yesterday.
