Laughter Club!
I recently went attended a Laughter Club and I had such a great time that I decided to have one at my clinic every month. I laughted so much that my chest felt sore the next day. Here is a link that explains it.

I am a believer in these clubs.
I think they contribute to mental wellness and consequently to physical wellness. Life is a tragi-comedy, but most people don’t realize this, and they fail to see humor in most situations. I’m glad we have our own specialists in humor in CAN. They certainly help us to keep the proper perspective!
The gift of laughter.
I think it was Norman Cousins who claimed to have cured his cancer by watching Marx Brothers films. A big belly laugh (or more) a day is supposed to be good for health — relaxes the internal organs and the mind.
