Laughter is good medicine

Day 347- You can turn painful situations around through laughter. If you can find humor in anything, even poverty, you can survive it.”- Bill Cosby

Several weeks ago my oldest girlfriend Linda invited me to a comedy show fundraiser for her agency. For over 24 years she has headed up Human Resources for West End Medical Center in Atlanta. She has been a wonderful trooper and comes to every event I've invited her to attend. So, I had to make sure I showed up even though my bed was calling my name.

I pushed through and had the most incredible evening. At which I laughed, laughed and laughed. I laughed until I cried and then laughed some more. Diane Jordan who Oprah Winfrey coined “one of the funniest people on the planet” mission is to heal the world one laugh at a time. This is exactly what she, John Gray, Michael Colyar and headliner George Wallace delivered on.

Earlier today, my pastor Bishop Long admonished us to stop worrying and having arguments where you don’t win anything. He said, "winning a argument for the sake of winning and not gaining anything tangible was not worth it."

So tonight, I gained laughter and it feels really good inside and out. I think I'll take it with me throughout the week. Did you know a child laughs 300 times a day while an adult laughs only 7? What the world needs now...Laughter.


Good Night.....
