Let’s do this. Let’s laugh more…with each other. And be more willing to laugh at ourselves. Life can feel so non-stop serious, can’t it? We have jobs, responsibilities, commitments, bills, meetings, appointments, family, etc. With all that we’re managing on any given day, we can forget to loosen up with a little laughter.

Did you know that laughing comes with health benefits, too? Laughter reduces blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress, burns calories, and boosts our immune system. Laughter makes our burdens feel lighter and helps us release anxiety and anger. And laughter is so contagious that it’s almost impossible NOT to catch the “bug” if you’re spending time with others who are laughing. The laughter I’m talking about here is positive laughter- the laughing that’s at no one’s expense. Because you and I both know laughter can also be used as a weapon.  So every day let’s be on the lookout for more humor. Let’s lighten up and laugh a lot more. Why? Because life is better and brighter when we’re laughing.
