With the world fighting a pandemic and people cooped up in their homes, we need practical ways to relieve stress and boost our health.
Did you know that LAUGHTER has emotional and physical health benefits? It relieves stress, improves your mood, eases anxiety, and more!
I tend to be very serious and analytical, but I am learning more and more how important it is to laugh every day. At the end, I will share some of the sources I go to when I need to laugh.
First, check out these research findings from Harvard Medical School and HealthGuide.Org.

The Bible says, “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine” Proverbs 17:22 KJV
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY, …” Galatians 5:22
“Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them’.” Psalm 126:2
Laugh a Little!
I pray that your day be filled with laughter and joy. If you have a go-to source of laughter, please share!
With Love,
Cindy
