laughter is the best medicine

I do a lot of laughable things in the course of a day. If you're anything like me (klutzy, without a verbal filter and the sense of humor of a 10 year old boy) you do as well. What I believe gets me through my most embarrassing situations is my ability to laugh at myself. I recognize when I've done something hilarious/stupid/embarrassing and I can laugh it off.

I think people appreciate that, because really, what's sad about exploding a canister of whip cream all over yourself??? The answer is nothing - its hilarious. That actually happened by the way...last Sunday to (you guessed it) me.

Now laughter actually IS good for you it can strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress.

So take a leaf from my book and have a chuckle at your own expense every once and awhile! Trust me it makes the whole offending situation less awkward for those around you, and ultimately makes you healthier!
