Today is the birthday of actress and comedian Lily Tomlin, who is known for her portrayal of numerous quirky characters. It is well known that laughter is good for our health and improves our mood. Laughter feeds our spirit!

Today, spend some time watching a favorite comedian who always makes you laugh. Then learn a new joke that you can tell to friends to spread the joy and benefits of laughter. You can create your own joke or consult a book or website with jokes. Be sure to find one appropriate for your audience. Challenge the recipients of your comedic stylings to do the same: learn a joke and pass it on. You can turn your midweek blahs into a cascading pay-itforward of mirth and laughter!
