Laugh & Live

I don't understand why people don't laugh more. As children we laugh as much as 400 times a day. As adults it drops to 15 times a day. It seems when we grow up we realize the government has control of our lives and we can't do anything about it. But that's a wrong realization. We have control of our own lives. If you don't like the government, change it with your vote. If you don't like where you're headed, you can change that too. Start right now and laugh more. What a great New Year's Resolution, to laugh more. You laughed as a child, now that you're grown, you've seen a lot, done a lot and you have some knee-slapping times to talk about. Think about the good times, and laugh. I lost a job recently and was feeling really down, until my son walked in and asked if the Flintstones wore underwear. That didn't bother me. What bothered me was, I had to think about it. I laughed for a good 10 minutes. It felt good. Laughter therapy does to the body what jogging does to the soul.
