\"Wow.<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

Step right up folks.  Are you tired of waking up in the morning and the first thought in your mind is bracing yourself for the news of the day?  News that will surely pull you down in the dumps.  But have no fear, this medicine will cure that feeling of hopelessness.  What can that be?  Well, step closer so I can enlighten you.  That\u2019s right, gather round now.  How many of you are tense and ready to get into an altercation at a moment\u2019s notice?  It can be so bad sometimes that you feel the steam coming out of your ears.  What would you say to an instant fix that will put a smile on your face and relax you for up to 45 minutes?  If you think I am making this up and trying to sell you snake oil, you are wrong.  This \u201cmedicine\u201d is not classified, and there is more to this elixir than meets the eye.  It can protect the heart, release endorphins (those are the happy feelings), and may give you a longer life.  While we are at it, let us add that you can even lose some weight.  Don\u2019t leave just yet \u2013 I am about to tell you the secret.  First, there is nothing to buy, so put your money back in your pockets, there is nothing to carry away, and it is absolutely FREE.  You ask yourself, \u201cWhat can this be?  Nothing is free, not even a free lunch.  What\u2019s the catch?\u201d  No catch and no free lunch, as this is something you carry inside of you \u2013 it is called laughter.  Nowadays, people do it less often, but a good belly laugh can set you up for a better day.  The old saying that says \u201claughter is the best medicine\u201d is right on.  Without laughter life can be fairly grim.  Here are a few good quotes about the benefits of laughter, lest we forget.  Mark Twain, a man of the world, said, \u201cAgainst the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.\u201d  A wise Jewish proverb says, \u201cAs soap is to the body, so laughter is to the soul.\u201d  Dr. Seuss, the most popular children\u2019s writer said, \u201cFrom there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.\u201d  And a most precious quote, by Ralph Waldo Emerson says, \u201cEarth laughs in flowers.\u201d  Now you have the secret, so spread the merriment around, watch others laugh, and enjoy the good cheer.  Let that laughter out, and don\u2019t let the turkeys get you down.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
