Lots Of Laughs

Laughing is good for the soul. Family is good for the heart. If you are lucky, you can combine the two. That is what I did yesterday. My family was together to celebrate Hanukkah a week early. Sometimes our schedules are so busy that getting everyone together on the same day is hard. The best alternative is to celebrate on an alternate day. The important thing is that we still celebrate together. You sometimes hear the expression that "the room was filled with laughter". Last night, the room was overflowing. Not just the small giggle type of laughter, but the belly laugh type, that makes you bend over and hold your stomach, while you uncontrollably laugh. It is almost cathartic. We laughed about everything from You Tube videos to which fruits need to be avoided at all costs, if you are a public speaker. Years ago there was an educational course that was devoted to laughing and how it can be used as a healing method. I believe in that. Laughter really is the best medicine.
