Week 9 -Laugh...laugh...laugh...

This week as we enter week NINE!!! (seriously? we've been doing this for nine weeks???) My challenge to you is a simple one. I want you to LAUGH!Life can be so crazy! This past week I wanted to cry because I was so tired and busy and crazy... but I made it through and today the sun was shining and we had big Texas blue skies and I felt happy and so I thought let's spend this next week laughing. Plain and simple.Did you know that laughter is good for your health* Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.* Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.* Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.* Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.Each day this week I will try to post a funny clip for us to watch and laugh with. Here is the first one I came upon today and boy did it make me laugh!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p32OC97aNqcThen I showed it to my kids, and they laughed. I dare you to watch the whole 4 minutes and NOT laugh... not possible.and I'm not even a laugher...If you have a funny clip let me know and I'll share it with the group.Enjoy your week and laugh, laugh, laugh!
