Laughter!

What a great weekend I have had!  I went away with10 gorgeous girls to a villa on the canals in Mandurah so there was lots of talking, listening, thinking, laughing, fun, food and a splash or two of wine.
There is something wonderful about going away from your usual environment for a night or two.  It gives you a rest from your routine and chance for a fresh perspective on things.    As you can imagine with 10 girls there was also plenty of opportunity for a really good laugh and it made me feel so good.
 Research has found that laughter is good for our health and serves as an emotional balancing mechanism. 
This backs up the old saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.”

Just before you start begging someone to tickle you to make you laugh I need to let you know that it is possible to die from laughter.  In 1975 Alex Mitchell died laughing while watching an episode of “The Goodies”.  After 25 minutes of continuous laughter Alex slumped on the sofa and died from heart failure.  His widow later sent The Goodies a letter thanking them for making his final moments so pleasant.   What a way to go!
OK, I don’t want you to die from laughter but I do want to encourage you have have a good laugh every day.  E.E. Cummings says,   “The most wasted of all days in one without laughter”

So don’t waste your day.  Look for something to laugh about and if all else fails, check out this link.  Go on, have a laugh and feel great!
