"Good humor is tonic for the mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment." -Grenville Kleiser Laughter: The Grease That Keeps the Wheels of Our Life Running Smoothly. Laughter has been called "the best medicine" - and for good reason - a good dose of deep, heartfelt laughter helps pull you through some of the worst times in your life. Being able to laugh at life just makes it easier, doesn't it? Laughter is so good for us, both physically and emotionally. Laughter strengthens our immune system, improves our cardiovascular health, tones and relaxes our muscles, reduces depression and anxiety, boosts our productivity and creativity, and does a whole lot more good to our being. Laughing is a great healer and I want to share with you how much. Think of Bob Hope and George Burns. They lived longer than most by using their God-given talent for humor to anchor them in their life. Laughter, a big key to our health, has a way of making problems melt away. It lets us know just how ridiculous we are. Comedians are so sought after by people because innately we know the healing effect they have on us. Quite simply, laughing makes us feel good. So why not En-lighten up a little? "Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused." -Unknown Can you laugh at yourself and at things that have happened in your life?
