If you’re at a restaurant and there’s a lull in the conversation at your table and the table next to you, turn to the closest person and say hellp. Say it with genuine intent of kindness. If you are home and music is playing, take a moment to pay as close attention to the sounds as you are able to. If none of these situations apply, think of the first joke you can remember and laugh at it. Tell it to the very first person you see as if it’s the funniest joke you’ve ever told. If you knew Danny Mazza, you know that these simple actions are essential to life. Making yourself smile is only second in importance to smiling with someone else. Outright laughter isn’t just the icing – it’s the foundation. To me, these are the ways to remember Danny Mazza.” – Phillip Goughary
