laughter yoga

Laughing is good, even if it's faked
"Laughter yoga" started in India, where you stand around in a circle and go "Ho ho ho ha ha ha" until your body mimics all the stress-reduction benefits that giggling brings. [Ed.: cf. Beaver: "Wally, why do grown-ups drink?" Wally: "I think because it's harder for grown-ups to have fun than it is for kids."] Billings Gazette

WU is my "laughter yoga". So when my boss comes in and asks me why I've been on the internet all day...I'll tell her that I am relieving stress.

WU is my laughter yoga, my therapy, my antidepressant, and my ego boost all wrapped up into one little website!

It seems like folks now have an almost obsessive need to be happy. It's not healthy.

My Grandpa was a kid till the day he died and I'm following in his footsteps.
