Wednesdays Laugh

Good Morning Friends,

?

We are at the midpoint of the week; have you found reason to smile and greet the day in a positive way? Any day that we rise out of bed and are in good health, is a day to be Thankful for. Sometimes we receive blessings that may not always be the blessings were looking for, but none the less everything is a blessing if YOU choose to make it one….. It’s up to how we perceive the many things that come our way. The story this morning is about laughter/humor, it reminds us that laughter is not only good for the soul, but for the body and mind as well. I Wish you a Great day and hope you find it useful. May you Realize the many Blessings you recieve today and make the Most of this New Day before You!

Humor Can Save Your Life

?

?

The story goes that a certain court jester went too far one day and insulted his king. The king became so infuriated he sentenced the jester to be executed. His court prayed upon the king to have mercy for this man who had served him well for so many years. After a time, the king relented only enough to give the jester his choice as to how he would like to die. True to form, the jester replied, "If it's all the same to you, my Lord, I'd like to die of old age." Certainly in this case, a good sense of humor saved the man's life. It's true for us as well. We may not be faced with a situation where our wit will save us from an execution, but our sense of humor and the ability to laugh at things has proven health benefits that extend and improve our quality of life. Norman Cousins, in his book Anatomy of an Illness, wrote about how he cured himself of cancer by laughing a good part of each day. He rented films of comedies and watched them for hours on end in his hospital room. He had nothing to lose since he'd been diagnosed as terminal. His "experiment" turned out to be a classic example of the healing powers of laughter. If it worked for Cousins with a life-threatening illness, it can work for us to enhance and protect our good health. We should laugh often and heartily. It's good for our digestion and our disposition. Besides, life's too important to take seriously.

A bit of humor to lighten your day:

?

A neatly dressed salesman stopped a man in the street and asked -

"Sir, would you like to buy a?bottle of this mouthwash for $200.00?"

Aghast, the man said, "are you NUTS?, that's robbery!"

The salesman seemed hurt and then tries again -

"Sir, since you are a bit irate, I'll sell it to you for 1/2 price at $100.00?

Again, the man replies bluntly - "you must be crazy pal, now go away!"

The salesman then reaches into his briefcase and pulls out 2 brownies and begins munching away on one of them. He tells the irate guy -

"Sir, please share one of my brownies since I have annoyed you so much".

Unwrapping the brownie, the guy takes a bite; suddenly, the guys spits it out and says:

"HEY," he snarled, "this brownie tastes like crap!!!"

"It is," replied the salesman. "Wanna buy some mouthwash?"
