In my life I have lived through terrible times, yet I barely remember them through the humourous recall and the funny side of the incident! When you look back - it is amazing what you can see in hindsight. Becoming a diabetic was a horrid reality, yet I laugh myself sick at the memories of stumbling about try to come to terms with it.

I made mistakes, paid the price and stumbled on to the next hurdle. It was hard, but I learned that nothing is so difficult you can't see the funny side sooner or later. Laughter is the vent that lets pressure escape before it can do damage. The best part of laughter is.....it is gift easily shared. You enjoy it more when someone laughs with you.

Laughter is a great healer too. Hospital patients who laugh and feel happy have faster healing time in both emotional and physical injury. Mental health is greatly effected by humour and happy stimulus. I have made my own observations, where the best BGL's occur during periods of intense interaction involving laughter. It doesn't work all the time, mind you - it's fun trying!!
