A Bowl Of Laughter

This past Sunday my husband and I had the pleasure of attending a sermon by Joel Osteen about the power of laughter.  I have been a blessed person when it comes to laughter.  I married a very funny man and have been blessed with a funny dad. 

After listening to Joel, I discovered why my dad seems so young for a soon to be 81 year old man.  Joel said studies had been done on the power of laughter keeping people young and helping people heal when sick.  When ever we laugh we release good endorphins that help our bodies to stay young.  My dad seems to know the secret, because as long as I can remember he has always laughed at life on a daily basis.  He looks great for his age and has fooled many people.  He has told me also on many occasions that he is not old yet.  He says you are allowed to say your old when you hit 90.

 I feel that I have his sense of humor, so I'm a lucky lady.  My husband also has been blessed with a good sense of humor that has helped him through his journey with cancer.  Thank goodness we have been able to laugh at some very difficult times.  And, I think we look young or maybe my eyesight is going bad.(LOL)   Okay remember to get a bowl of laughter a day and make an appointment to see my dad, he will make you a believer.

Whoops I forgot to mention my four legged friend, Laney. She is of course part of my bowl of laughter.  If you need laughter just invest in a four legged friend. They can provide hours of amusement.  For example, she chases her tail, spinning in circles yet never catches it.  And of course she loves to eat toilet paper or get in my purse and eat my list of passwords to my accounts.  Oh well, what can I say?  I LOVE YOU LANEY!
