NEED A LAUGH? ME, TOO!

Whether overheard in a crowded restaurant, punctuating the enthusiastic chatter of friends,

or as the noisy guffaws on a TV laugh track, laughter is a fundamental part of everyday life

An old Yiddish proverb says,

"What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul."


Everyone knows that laughter makes you feel good and puts you in high spirits,

but did you also know that laughter actually causes physiological responses

 that protect the body from disease and help your vital organs repair themselves?

― Robert Frost
