Laughter is a healing phenomenon.  We have long known that bringing humor into a hospital can hasten the recovery time of patients.  What a joy to know that something so fun can be so good for us.

There is, of course, a multitude of reasons for laughter.  I would have to think that laughing at another would not come under the heading of a healing expression.  But then, you probably wouldn’t be here if you were the type who laughed at others.

Perhaps today you could create a special moment for someone near you, a co-worker or a friend, or even someone you meet briefly, by sharing your laughter.  It might be just what he/she needs at this time.  You, too, can be a healer.  No matter who it might be or what the situation, laughter will always have positive effects. 

Feel your joy and share it.

I wish you laughter often,
