Laugh Often

Have you laughed today? Have you doubled over in laughter fighting to get your breath – sides screaming in pain, tears running down your cheeks? Laughing is so good for you. As soon as you engaged in a side-splitting laugh, you changed your body chemistry by downloading a whole lot of feel-good endorphins that caused you feel better emotionally and physically. You reduced your stress and boosted your immune system with nothing other than the pure enjoyment of the moment. “Laugh at every opportunity and when an opportunity does not exist, make one! Laughter lifts our mood, jiggles up our…
