Laughter as Medicine

There was a sign in my 4th grade classroom that said "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold."

I don't know why I remember that but something about it stuck with me even though I didn't really understand what it meant.

Over the last month, I had the opportunity to visit with some of my oldest and closest friends.

We've all been friends since high school and we're going on 20+ years of friendship.

After both weekends, my stomach hurt from laughing and I was so filled up from spending quality time with these special friends.

Friends that know me better than anyone, have been there for me though everything and I can be my silly, carefree self around.

Friends like that are hard to come by and I value them like gold.

You've probably heard that laughter is the best medicine. And it really is. It has the ability to immediately change any situation, mood or feeling.

If you're feeling down, stressed or just out of sorts - find some friends that make you laugh, watch a funny movie or even just think of something that always makes you laugh.

Guaranteed it will change your state.
