"A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired." Proverbs 17:22
I love puns! Saw some on facebook so here goes.........
I'm reading a book on gravity. Can't put it down!
Jokes about German sausage are the wurst!
A soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran!
I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. Says he can stop any time he wants.
Broken pencils are pointless!
Okay........now for the serious stuff about laughter! I found this on the internet and thought I'd share it with you along with the 'smiles'.
More than just a respite from sadness and pain, laughter gives you the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh–or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better. And laughter really is contagious—just hearing laughter primes your brain and readies you to smile and join in the fun.
The link between laughter and mental health

The link between laughter and mental health
- Laughter dissolves distressing emotions. You can’t feel anxious, angry, or sad when you’re laughing.
- Laughter helps you relax and recharge. It reduces stress and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more.
- Humor shifts perspective, allowing you to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light. A humorous perspective creates psychological distance, which can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Keep laughing and if you've got a good pun............put it in the comments!
