Laughter, something we can all use a lot more of in our everyday lives.  Our lives are becoming too complex and entirely too serious.  Laughter is one of the best medicines to ward off physical and mental illness.  Our heart loves laughter and a positive attitude.

       We need to make a concerted effort to add laughter to our lives.  We need to do things that will generate laughter.  We need to be in a happy environment, and if we can't find one we need to create one ourselves.  Watch television shows that have a lot of laughter, movies, conversation groups, any activity in your daily life that will generate laughter.  The old saying, "An apple a day will keep the doctor away, " can also be applied to laughter.

        One of the greatest strains on our heart is stress and what better say to combat stress than to laugh about our problems.  Not always an easy thing to do but look at this way, your problem is either solvable or it's not.  If it is, apply the solution, if it's not, all the worry in the world isn't going to solve it.

        Start your day off with a happy and / or positive thought and try to retain that thought for the entire day.  Try it!  It's just another form of exercise.  The more you do something, the better you get.  Practice makes perfect.  Laughter requires no prescription, is free of charge. and you can take as much of it as you like.  We really need to live a more light hearted life.  I know, as I said before "Easier said than done" but it will keep you healthier.  Let's all give it a try.
