Laughter for the soul....

I thought about something today. Nothing earth shattering, or even new to me, although I seem to have forgotten it lately. We all need laughter in our lives. It helps lift the spirits, gives us a hormone rush, makes us feel better. The world is stressful. Find whatever makes you laugh and then make sure you indulge yourself in it. We cannot control a lot of the stress we are all under, but we can definitely help ourselves by actively seeking ways to relieve it.


On that note, I found a comedian online today that literally made me laugh out loud. I was working on transfers and listening while I worked, and I burst out laughing several times. It was good for my soul. I have often read inspirational writing, and all the Chicken Soup for the Soul stuff, and its all great. If its the written word, I enjoy it. But honestly, listening to this comedian today lifted my spirits in a way I haven't been lifted in quite awhile. I felt better emotionally, physically and mentally.

It is easy to let the world get you down. Take my advice. Comedy. Natural prozac for the soul. Its the real deal.

One more hour....

I am not sure what is driving it, but recently there have been a lot of memes on my facebook about missing someone, and how nice it would be to have one more hour with that person who is missed.  I have thought a lot about it in the past few days, because today, January 4, 2025, would have been my dad's 102nd birthday, and I always think a lot about him at this time of year.
