A Good Sense of Humor

A good sense of humor helps us emotionally and socially. It is a physical and emotional release, brings the focus away from anger, guilt, stress and negative emotions in a more beneficial way.  Research has shown that people who laugh more are healthier — they're less likely to be depressed and may even have an increased resistance to illness or physical problems.  It’s a good workout for the heart.  But most of all, a good sense of humor is what makes life fun.  It enables us to see things in a positive standpoint, and keep things from appearing too overwhelming or scary.

We are blessed to have love ones and friends with whom we can each share our frustrations, and laugh about them in the process.  It gives us the courage to smile instead of cry. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." Proverbs 17:22
