Laughter has often been called, “the best medicine”, and a good joke will often have me rolling in the aisle. Humor can lighten our mood, make us smile and see things differently. On bad days a good joke or funny story can boost our spirits.
I’m hoping this section will make you smile, laugh, and look at things from a funny angle. Each week I will share a joke or funny story, hoping your day has been made a little brighter. If you have a (clean) joke or story and wish to share it, please feel free to email it to me at doug@time4seniors.com.
