Oh, it’s so true
that laughter is the best medicine. I
was watching old reruns of the Golden Girls the other night and nearly fell of
the couch laughing until my stomach hurt.
And, just last night, Joan Rivers had me in stitches laughing watching
“Fashion Police”!
If laughter
seems like a distant memory, then it’s time for the child inside to come out
to play. In reality, you have so much
more to enjoy than the child you used to be – and so many more reasons to
laugh. You have that library of memories to be brought out and explored – years
of joy, happiness and smiles.
We all have
mistakes filed away – all good reason for laughter. There’s the accumulation of
friendship – full of hugs, love and good times. There’s that treasure chest of
experience to be dipped into – and so much more meant to bring a chuckle!
Laughter is said
to be the best medicine and there’s lots of evidence that laughter does lots of
good things for us. It reduces pain and
allows us to tolerate discomfort.
The role laughter
plays in intimate relationships is hugely underestimated and it really is the
glue of good marriages and relationships.
It also
synchronizes the brains of speaker and listener so that they are emotionally
attuned.
Never overlook the secret of excitement, wonder, enthusiasm in all the good times yet to come.
So keep on
laughing everyone!
I don't often laugh. But you're right it's good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteOkay - I couldn't agree with you any more. Laughter is imperative. I like the Golden Girls too!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that is for sure. I love to be around someone who keeps me in stitches.
ReplyDeleteI need to do that, find some of the ones I loved, WAtching the 3-Stooges I have rolled on the floor.
Yep, that is a plan.
Thanks and this was a pleasant and informative entry. Love it.

Hi Rose...
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading through some of your posts.
You are right that laughter is very important.
I am so sorry you lost your husband. That must be horribly difficult. I can imagine always having to hire a handyman is most expensive.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and commenting today. The battle of the bulge is monumental for me. Susan
More often than not I find myself laughing at my self these days.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, I am a cut-up, and that makes Beth smile and laugh all of the time. Agreed, it makes for a great marriage.
