Laughter is one of the best healers we have in this world. It can come from the strangest of places in your mind. Once it starts, it can spread within a group of people faster than a wildfire. Once everyone in the group starts laughing, many of the worries and concerns, so important a few minutes ago, are lost and forgotten.
Why? Science can give you many facts about the brain’s chemical structure, such as dopamine and serotonin. I am happy to know it is accurate and that it works.
Humor can cut through the thickest of tension, bringing divided sides together again. It can also form a bond that helps the fiercest enemies find common ground.
Fun family activities (games, funny movies, or nice jokes) encourage laughter and help the family find happiness and cohesion. Everyone should have happy moments every day.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
