Laughter



"Why don't Buddhists vacuum in the corners?
 Because they have no attachments"

Do you get enough laughter in your life?   Laughing is fun. I find humor in every day things and intentional comedy. We tend to be more receptive to laughter when we are open to surprise. The other day I saw this sign. Someone was very clever!  I don't know what a "Stink Fish" felony is, but it sure made me laugh as I imagined what that would be.

Laughter is good for you on every level of being. Laughter sets off chemical reactions in our brains, our muscles tighten, oxygen goes to our tissues, endorphins are released and our immune response gets a boost.  Laughter also impacts our relationships with others because laughing together creates bonds.  When we create bonds with others we feel more relaxed and safe.  
So what made you laugh today?
