Humor: A Healthy View

Ahhh ……humor.  What’s to say?  A lot!  Everyone wants a bit of humor in their life.  Whether it be a joke, a remark by a loved one or friend that made you giggle, a comic strip, a comical movie, or just mere laughing at yourself for the silly things you have done.  If you are the exception to “everyone” and you don’t care for humorous antics or amusings, then, well....let’s face it…you aren’t much fun to be around, and you can subsequently clean my house instead.

Incorporating a bit of humor in your life not only reduces blood pressure by 50%, but also increases your life span at least 20 years.  These statistics are purely made up by me and should NOT be construed as actual statistics coming from anyone other than me..who also happens to be a bithering idiot.  I do, however, find humor a very important part of my life.  If it weren’t for the bit of humor I see in this life of mine, then I probably would have most likely hurt a lot of people.

Let’s take for instance my seven-year old.  When he was about 2 to 3 years old…he found it amusing to see exactly how much toilet paper he could fill the toilet bowl with.  This was actually funny to me as I was running down the hall BEFORE he flushed the toilet.  After he flushed and I paid a plumber $150…it then became not so quite amusing for me.  However, he was caught with his pants “down” so to speak (thank goodness for cameras) and now when he is 15 or 16 years old…I will get yet another good chuckle when his new girlfriend comes over.

So you see, even some ‘not so terrific things’ that happen in our lives can be found humorous.  Finding the humor in those moments is what keeps us sane.  Laugh off the things you have no control over, and laugh over the mistakes you make during your life as you learn from those mistakes.  It truly does make life much more enjoyable for you, and your family and friends around you.   As the old saying goes…”laughter is the best medicine”.  Take hold of it, and enjoy your life.
