“Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.” Victor Hugo

Have you noticed lately how contagious laughter is? Especially in times these, we could all use a good laugh. According to Baruch Spinoza: “What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness .” What better way than to find a little humor in your day – each and every day. It is there all around you for all to see – it is you that is missing it. If you shift your perspective you can begin to see the irony and the humor in things and happenings in your world. Be child when you can get away with it.

Laughter is good for you and it is good for those around you. It aids your breathing and lengthens your life. What’s not to love about laughter? Go on and laugh.

Three- Step Call to Action:

1. If laughter is foreign to you try out a few joke web sites or pick up a joke-a-day calendar.
2. Find people who to laugh and hang out with them; observe what is going on and witness the camaraderie that ensues.
3. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Have a laugh at your own expense; everyone else does.

You’ve got the power. Find your joy now!
