A Quote About Laughter That Makes Me Think
Harry the fluffy teddy bear’s wisdom on laughing as therapy.
Dad and I were on an extra-long weekend break away. We laughed a lot during this break. I want to start this week with a quote about laughter.
A day without laughter is a day wasted — Charlie Chaplin.
This quote made me think. Does laughter have benefits? Research studies show that laughter relaxes one’s “muscles for up to 45 minutes and lowers blood pressure.”
It also stimulates the release of endorphins or “happiness hormones,” lifting our spirits and wellbeing.
This week find some time to have a good laugh a day. If you are feeling down watch a funny movie or a “Just for Laughs” clip, or two. It makes dad Jay crawl around on the floor laughing.
I wish you a week full of laughter and happy feelings — Harry the Bear
Let me know in the comments what made you laugh this week.
