Laughing is the best medicine

This time of the year can be busy and sometimes we just forget or don't have time to catch up with friends or family.

I love catching up with friends over some food or a glass of wine and having a proper giggle.

“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”

~ Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.

Laughing is a great stress reliever and has been proven to help lose weight. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
