Laughter is Good Medicine

We've all heard how laughing is good for your health. It's true. There's nothing better than when my daughter shares some humorous story about something that happened in her day, or turning on the TV to one my favorite sitcoms like Seinfeld or The Office and laughing myself silly over something that's totally ridiculous but oh so real. Not that short giggle type of laugh. No. It's the kind of laughter that gets you going and sometimes brings you to tears and you have to make yourself stop short of rolling on the floor! It could be that I may have had a not so great day at work, but something about getting a really good bout of laughter just makes me feel so good afterwards. All becomes right with the world and whatever transpired during the hours before are tucked away and overshadowed by this momentary outburst which makes everything all right...even if just for a brief moment. Everyone may not be able to find something that brings about this type of laughter all the time, but even if you can manage to find laughter in a small amount, it will not only improve your day, but your health as well.
