International Moment of Laughter Day by Merrillee Whren

During these stressful days, we need a good dose of laughter. So it's so appropriate that today is International Moment of Laughter Day. There are a lot of good reasons to laugh. I'll share just a few.
1. Medical studies show that laughter reduces stress.
2. Laughter increases blood flow and lowers blood sugar. That's good news.
3. If you laugh before you go to bed, you should get a better night's sleep.
4. Laughter spreads happiness.

How can we celebrate?
1. Read a romantic comedy.
2. Watch a romantic comedy on TV.
3. Find jokes and share them with your family. I'm always sharing funny Facebook memes with my husband. Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he doesn't. We don't always share the same sense of humor.

I have to admit that most of my books are not the romantic comedy type. I think my books that have kids in the story tend to have numerous scenes of comic relief because kids can say funny things. Four Little Blessings and A Match to Call Ours are two of my books that have kids.

 

We all need some laughter. Have you read a good romantic comedy or have you heard a funny joke you'd like to share?
