LAUGHTER AND A POSITIVE SPIRIT

My Friends and Neighbors...here are some thoughts on the gift of Laughter and a Positive Spirit, as a major way to deal with the coronovirus pandemic or whatever else life sends our way.

Are you aware of the benefits of Laughter and a Positive Spirit like: l. Laughter and a Positive Spirit are like physical exercise, for every time we enjoy a hearty laugh, not simply a polite haha, we exercise 500 different muscles, and after a good, hearty laugh we find that our vital signs...blood pressure, heart beat, pulse rate...are all normal for us. 2. Laughter and a Positive Spirit are antiaging medicine, for as we age, as we well know, we will get wrinkles, but wrinkles look much better when they go up rather than down, which happens as a result of smiling and laughter. 3. Laughter and a Positive Spirit are major producers of Interferon, a wonderful God-given substance, our body’s natural infection and pain fighter, the principal ingredient in the various infection and pain prescriptions we get from our doctor. 4. Laughter and a Positive Spirit are major producers of Endorphins, another wonderful God-given substance, to combat mental and emotional illness, the principal ingredient in the various prescriptions we get from our doctor to combat depression and anxiety.

These are just some of the benefits we receive from our Loving God from the gift of Laughter and a Positive Spirit.
