I read this article found it to be enlightening.  I try to find humor, but sometimes it's just hard to make yourself laugh when all you do is feel like crying.  And sometimes when you laugh, you are still crying on the inside....anyone relate?

Members,

Laughter can be just what the doctor ordered. Did you know that laughter has both short term and long term positive health effects? In the short term laughter can stimulate your organs, activate and relieve the stress response, soothe tension and stomachaches and in the long term it can improve your immune system, relieve pain and also increase personal satisfaction.
