Mary’s Minute
“Laughter is an instant vacation.”
~ Milton Berle
Last weekend my sister, Sofie visited
with me for few days. It was fun to
catch up, but most importantly it was great to laugh! We really laughed! After feeling stifled and stressed through a
pandemic, a vacation seems like just what the doctor ordered, but laughing with
my sister was even better!
We go on vacations as a way to relax
and live in the moment. While we are
laughing, we can’t focus on our to-do list or our worries. In that moment, we simply are feeling pure
joy. It’s no wonder that laughter is
scientifically proven to improve mental and physical health.
One cool thing laughing is that it isn’t
always something we can plan. Sure, we
can set up experiences that lead to laughter, like watching a comedy, but laughing
is usually spontaneous. I don’t even
remember what all we laughed about – my driving did give her some good giggles!
Admittedly, I do love to travel, but
laughing really does provide the same benefits!
Have a great week,
and I hope you can laugh!
Mary
