Laughter is essentially the one free, simple, universal “cure for all ails” with no life-threatening side-effects!

Ok… This may not be entirely true. There was a great philosopher. His name was Chrysippus. He allegedly laughed himself to death after drinking too much wine…

HOWEVER, speaking as someone who has come face to face with death about a dozen times in the first 20 years of her life, that sounds like a fantastic way to go out!

Chrysippus aside, there are so many situations where laughter can be beneficial.

Need an example? Imagine you are kidnapped by a serial killer. If you started laughing, it would confuse your captor. This would throw them off balance and likely make them scared of you. (I am not advising you to test this out; let’s use good judgment, people).

But seriously guys, one very important thing I learned in my years of battling and recovering from leukemia is this:

Smiling and laughter are vital to surviving cancer. Joy can help get you through seemingly impossible situations and lend a hand in recovery.

That is the reason this portion of my blog exists. I want to give you as many reasons to laugh as possible! (I guarantee there will be something here that can at least coax a smile out of you)
