Sure...I've never been one to laugh too easily. Sure I smile a lot and chuckle. Maybe once a year (or so), there will be something that just tickles the funny bone. The laughter takes on a life of its own. You can't stop it, you can hardly breathe, you definitely can't talk anymore or get any intelligible sounds out, and the tears get squeezed out of the face. <br /><br />That kind of laughing is cathartic, but it is not comfortable. It seems to affect so many little parts of the body. Sometimes the upper cheek muscles even hurt from the squishing and squinting. Then afterward your breathing eventually deepens and slows down. The rush of endorphins settles throughout the body. Perhaps that process is what is helpful to the body. The release.<br /><br />I find that when I get to laughing like this, I'm the only one who is out of control. My family members end up laughing partially at my laughter which is kinda funny itself. It takes quite some time until the waves of laughter and chuckling die down.<br /><br />You know, I couldn't even tell you what I might have found funny. Certainly it wasn't something intended to be THAT FUNNY, but it just was (to me). To be honest, I can't imagine doing that kind of laughing even monthly; that would be totally exhausting. :)Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-60502727066738127442011-05-22T11:18:49.848-04:002011-05-22T11:18:49.848-04:00Hi

And as far as doctors, I find I need them to sign off on stuff for insurance or order meds but beyond that, not worth a hoot. Nope. <br />Peace and love to all<br />GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500936220214961312.post-84494029424342952082011-05-21T22:48:30.175-04:002011-05-21T22:48:30.175-04:00Three great selections, Lisa.
