Laughter

You can’t deny laughter; when it comes, it plops down in your favorite chair and stays as long as it wants. Stephen King

This doesn’t really seem like Stephen King to me, but it was the way I received it a long time ago.

I love the sentiment.

Laughter can come sit down in my house any time. I’d like it to sit and stay awhile. It’s helped get me through some tough experiences when I intentionally brought joy into my life in order to get through.

There are a number of books that promote well being and laughter:

Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins

Also books by Bernie Siegel such as:

Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned about Self-Healing from a Surgeon’s Experience with Exceptional Patients

365 Prescriptions for the Soul: Daily Messages of Inspiration, Hope, and Love

Or books by Larry Dossey.

Or books by Allen Klein such as:
The Healing Power of Humor

Have you ever used laughter to get you through?
