Of the many hats I wear, my favorite ones are of wife, mother of 5, and yes, even high school teacher! When we were children, life seemed so simple. Not so now. Life is hard, pain-filled, and not what was expected. In other words, life is not convenient. Hopefully this will have insights into an inconvenient life and a little wisdom to help get through it with grace.

Laughter

Laughter, it's said, is the best medicine. And there's lots of evidence that laughter does lots of good things for us." (http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-3726.html)
Over the past few years, there have been a number of medical studies on the effects of laughter on the human body. Findings suggest a correlation between laughter and better health. Some suggest laughter will increased blood flow (lowering heart attack risk) it might reduce pain levels and allow us to tolerate pain better, lower blood sugar, and help us get a better nights sleep.
So, I was thinking... this year I want to be a better steward of this temple. But I also want to save money. Presto! I can now do both!!
Having a hard time thinking of something funny? Look in the mirror. Works for me every time.

Blessings and laughter-
