Oh Happy Day

Hello there!
Did you hear the one about..... ?

Have you read anything recently about how good laughter is for the whole body system? It seems like there are articles everywhere about how healing it is for the body when you laugh. According to one article, sorry can't cite it, five minutes of good laughing will release enough good feelings, actual physiological biochemical reactions, to last most of a whole day.
Children laugh. I heard a little child the other day in the store laughing with just PURE delight. It made everyone around her feel better. And want to laugh like that with abandon and delight not at somone's expense.
John and I watched Sesame Street the other morning since I'd been listing to PBS the night before and it came on when the TV came on. We decided after we watched these wonderful characters solve their very troubling --trouble... that it made a great start for the day. Nothing unresolved, no one was hurt, and we could still have prayer time and lift up all those concerns God already knew about...without watching all of them on the news. Not everything in our lives is meant to be so very SERIOUS...
Dr. Christine Northrup has written a lot on women's health concerns and she thinks that the News is 'toxic' for women especially just before resting. I think she's right.
But if news is toxic then laughter in the morning can be healing. No wonder many people like to start the day reading the Comics in a newspaper...It's natural to want to laugh...and to find amusement in this world of ours.
Find some way to laugh, even at yourself, and know that it is God's good wish that your laugher would heal you and the world...
God abide
