May 8, 2020,
We could all use a good laugh right now and yes, we know they say it is a big person who can laugh at themselves but during this pandemic, we’re not sure how many of us are seeing ourselves as big.
Or funny.
Along with friends and family, now we get to laugh at and with someone else who is actually good at making people laugh.
It has long been chronicled that laughter is good for us.
“If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.”… Jim Valvano
At webmd.com they share, “We change physiologically when we laugh. We stretch muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. One pioneer in laughter research, William Fry, claimed it took ten minutes on a rowing machine for his heart rate to reach the level it would after just one minute of hearty laughter.”
Apparently a great way to exercise.
In some ways we always knew that.
Doesn’t it just feel good to laugh especially when you aren’t supposed to and you lean over to the person causing you to laugh hysterically and exclaim, “Stop It!” but in reality, you don’t want them too?
It feels so good.
Especially when it causes tears of joy to flow.
“If you’re serious, you really understand that it’s important that you laugh as much as possible and admit that you’re the funniest person you ever met. You have to laugh. Admit that you’re funny. Otherwise, you die in solemnity.”… Maya Angelou
So are you ready to laugh your fanny off?
Get ready.
Get Set.
Here comes laughter!
