LAUGHS, LASTS
Laughter is good for your health according to help guide.org
*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.
So that verse from the scriptures is a medical fact.
A merry heart doeth good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones . Proverbs 17:22
So now, smile, say Hee, Hee, Hee, Ha, Ha, Ho. Don't you feel better?
Gooood morning! I'm so glad you stopped by and introduced yourself :)

Enrich them with sweets and spices, and give us the pumpkin-pie!"
