1 Laughing Matters!! Are you stressed out? Unable to relax? Feeling gloomy? Well, you might consider going for a long and exhausting jog, or engaging in a frantic game of paddle ball to work out those frustrations. Or, if you want more immediate results, you can just laugh it off! April is National Humor Month, so this is the perfect time to add a little humor into your daily routine. Founded in 1976 by author and humorist Larry Wilde, the original idea was to heighten public awareness of the therapeutic and restorative values of joy and laughter. After all, many studies have shown that laughter can actually improve our health. And laughter is fun! After all, you can't feel sad or angry when you're laughing, right? The fact is that laughter itself changes us physiologically. Like exercise or waving your arms around, it boosts the heart rate and increases blood flow, so we breathe faster and more oxygen is delivered to the body's tissues. Our facial muscles stretch and we actually burn calories when we're laughing. In fact, the mere act of smiling can alter your mood almost immediately. Of course, there are always skeptics out there, like that cranky co-worker across the way or that grumpy relative you try to avoid at the holidays. But here are a few fun facts that you might want to mention to them: Laughter Reduces Stress: When stressed, we produce a hormone called cortisol. Laughter can significantly reduce cortisol levels. Laughter Can Reduce Pain: Laughter causes us to produce endorphins, which are natural, painkilling hormones. Laughter Strengthens the Immune System: A hearty laugh decreases stress hormones and increases production of T-cells, immune proteins and infection-fighting antibodies. Laughter Helps the Heart: When we laugh we increase blood flow and the function of blood vessels, which can help prevent cardiovascular problems. Laughter Relaxes the Whole Body: One good belly laugh can relieve physical tension and relax your muscles for up to 45 minutes. Laughter Helps You Recharge: By reducing stress levels and increasing your energy, laughter can help you focus and achieve more. So, not only is a great giggle a lot of fun, it's good for you! And like yawning, laughter can also be contagious. So by opening yourself up to more humor in your daily life, you may also have a positive effect on those around you. And the great thing about humor is that there is a bottomless supply out there. You don't need to sign up for anything. It doesn't cost a thing. It's fat-free and you can have as much of it as you like.

2 Joke Corner! 60th High School Reunion He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail. This 60th anniversary of their class, the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles. They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high with the widower throwing admiring glances across the table and the widow smiling coyly back at him. Finally, he picked up courage and blurted out, "Will you marry me?" After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes... yes I will!" The evening ended on a happy note for the widower. But the next morning he was troubled. Did she say yes? Or did she say no? He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question but for the life of him he could not recall her response. So with fear and trepidation, he picked up the phone and called her. First, he explained that he couldn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the past evening. As he gained a little more courage he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say yes or did you say no?" "Why you silly man, I said Yes. Yes I will!... And I meant it with all my heart." The widower was delighted. He felt his heart skip a beat. Then she continued, "And I am so glad you called because I couldn't remember who asked me!" Happy Birthday!! Allan Mallette 8th Ruth Thomas --18th Barbara Coats 19th William Wells 23rd Alberta Callihan 30th Something New They signify the start of something new. A rebirth and a second chance for me and you and you Where the past is past and sins forgotten and a bright future is in view. A time for change, a time for change There is so much to do So gather the eggs one by one And paint them all And have some fun!
