The kids at the Y today were laughing so hard...like those 'right form the toes and belly' kind of laughs. I thought Tim was going to fall over and pee his pants he was laughing so hard!! It was that kind of feeling that I just had to laugh with them...and couldn't stop. One of those days that I was so happy to work where I work! All the messed up, work place politics in the world are worth it when I can be that happy just from a few giggles. Kids are awesome!
And then I came home and read this in one of my emails....(guess it's just what I needed today!!)
The best medicine
Go ahead. Crack yourself up. Laughter is truly the best medicine. Medical research proves a good laugh actually lowers stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) and increases natural feel-good chemicals in the body (endorphins). All that chuckling also cleans old air out of your lungs, making room for more fresh air (which also improves circulation). What’s more, laughter is good exercise – it works the muscles, nerves and organs in your torso. Keep it up, and you’ll laugh off 500 calories an hour!
