LAUGHTER is the best medicine.
Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. So the question is, do we laugh because we are happy, or are we happy because we laugh? I’ll share this poem from an anonymous writer with you:
A laugh is just like sunshine,
It freshens every day.
It tips the peaks of life with light
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad because of it
And feels its courage strong.
A laugh is just like sunshine,
For cheering folks along.
A laugh Is just like music,
It lingers in the heart.
And where the melody is heard,
The ills of life depart.
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet.
A laugh is just like music,
For making living sweet.
We are going through some trying times right now, and it is easy to get down. Stay away from depressing things. Watch some just plain funny movies (My Cousin Vinny, Operation Petticoat, Uncle Buck, etc.) Forget the news and depressing programs.
Laugh and feel better.
