Humor - It's a Conscious Effort

Humor. It's what's good about life! It has a purpose. It is an integral part of us. No matter our age, humor provides balance. A sense of humor keeps us young, well and happy. Our laughter can help balance the difficult sides of life. When we are going off the rails, as we are prone to do, humor can step in and point out what is silly or just plain ridiculous about our situation.

Humor and comedy are good for our physical and emotional health. The power of the mind, or the soul, can influence the body. The body and soul are a unit and influence each other. As stress saps our immune systems, the mental takes a toll on the physical. Laughter also has a physical side and does subtle, positive things to the body. These body changes are measurable and observable. Laughter releases endorphins, chemicals in the brain, which help control pain.

Ever feel "so good" after a "good laugh"? It perks us up, gives us a hop in our step and we feel alive! Well, a shy smile or sly grin can be more telling than the howl.

Try it on for size - one size fits all! ~ Michael J. Farrell

Quotes:
"Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment." ~ Greenville Kleisser

"Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you." ~ Langston Hughes

A Bit of Humor: A LITTLE BOY AND THE BIG FAMILY BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it closely. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages “Momma, look what I found,” the boy called out.“What have you got there, dear?” his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy’s voice, he answered: “I think it’s Adam’s underwear!” ~ Author Unknown
