Laughter is the best cure. Join the humor.

That’s right.

When your heart is heavy and your mind is running wild with emotions and worries, laughing can be far from you.

Believe me, I know.

But when that moment comes, when something funny happens unexpectedly or someone tells a joke, it brings you to another place. Your heart is lifted, the load is relieved and the moment makes you feel relief.

20 years ago, when I was undergoing my chemo, surgery and radiation, it all tried to put me through some very deep depression, but I just fought it off. I definitely didn’t feel very happy, but I just tried to keep my mind on making progress every day.

So I tried to find things to make me laugh.

My alternative health counselor told me to laugh and sing every day. As much as I wanted to do that, it didn’t seem possible at the time. Whenever I did, most of the time, it was rather brief. Not a hearty laugh from deep down.

I do remember though that every once in a while, it all seemed so silly to me to keep trying to do something that I didn’t feel like doing. The silliness, and that alone, would make me just burst out with laughter and put a smile on my face.

Finally, Relief!

Those are great moments.

Even though they are sometimes just moments, they are moments that make a difference.

Laughter is the best cure. AND NO, I wasn’t relying on it to cure me from skin cancer, but I did rely on it to help relieve the stress and anxiety; even if it was just for the moment. Anything one can do to lift the heart and ENJOY the moment is a wonderful thing.

The captain tells the assistant, “Get my red coat and prepare for battle!”

The assistant runs without question to get the captains red coat and prepares for battle. After their victory the assistant asks the captain why he wanted his red coat.

The assistant thought this was a great idea. The next day the assistant came to the captain, “Sir! Sir! There are twenty enemy ships on the horizon!”
