The Antidote

Laughter


I was working in the yard last night when I noticed laughter coming from our friend's back yard.  I smiled and thought how nice if we could just spread the infectious laughter of the girls just playing and having fun. The girls went on chuckling and chortling for thirty minutes it was tremendous. 

The laughter was beautiful music. 

During this time of non stop doom and gloom, it's time to turn off the news get outside and enjoy the sunshine.  One of the best ways we can strengthen our immune systems is to be optimistic. Our optimism is threatened by the constant stream of negativity. 

But we know better.  We have the choice to allow what we take into our minds and hearts.  And just like we can choose healthy foods, and exercise, we must choose our thoughts and attitudes. We don't want to be insensitive or callous, but we also don't want to be sick and despondent.  There is a saying that, "our feeling bad doesn't make someone else feel better". 

Let's spread some optimism, a smile, and some laughter. 

It may just be our best medicine.
