HAPPINESS MONTH (HUMOR) |
In honor of August being Happiness Month, I thought it would be fun and appropriate to share some tid bits on laughter and humor.
Laughter can increase happiness, playfulness, bliss, spontaneity, control, empowerment and overall quality of life. In addition, laughter can decrease stress, fears, anger, sadness, frustration, etc. It’s the ultimate beat the blues activity! There are various biological effects from laughing. Laughter can actually lower blood pressure, but this is temporary. Laughter can also release endorphins which helps one to relax, lower stress, and even block pain. In addition, it is said that laugher can boost the immune system, enhance breathing and oxygen, and much more. Laughter really is the best medicine!
Have you ever noticed that some people are just naturally funny? Well, even if you aren’t a funny natural, you can develop and enhance your sense of humor. Here are a few tips to help you unleash your inner guffaw.Surround yourself with funny people. Let that funny rub off on you. Laughter is contagious. Figure out the nature of your sense of humor. We aren’t all born with the gift of funny and that’s ok. However, think about your own sense of humor. What makes you laugh?

BUMBLEBEE DAY |
By Ginger Bonner |
 According to the law of physics and science, considering the size of its body in
comparison to its wings, it should be IMPOSSIBLE for the bumblebee to fly.
However, nobody ever told that to the bumblebee, so he goes on flying and
buzzing away every day. This is the main message to get across to the residents
on bumblebee day. Nothing is impossible, especially when it's Bumblebee Day, one
of the most fun, favorite and easiest of my holidays to create!
