Mirthful Laughter Overcomes Indignation & Judgmental Attitude.
Never let a judgmental attitude spoil an opportunity to join in with the Spirit of Mirthful Laughter.
I ask myself: “what would I do if I ever found myself in this situation?”
I can imagine it: there am I riding the subway to work in my usual urban way, minding my own business, maybe doing the crossword, when there is a disturbance in the car. “What a nerve.” I think to my self. “Who is that loud guy and what’s he laughing at?” “Nothing, and he won’t even stop his laughter either, even though everyone is trying to ignore him.” “Hrmph!”
But I have to admire his courage, or… Is it joy? In which case, I really have to admit (only to myself, of course) that I envy his lightheartedness.
My lesson: to instantly overcome my habit of indignation, because, I suspect that this laughing man doesn’t come around too often. And his message: to lighten up, (as in enlightenment). Maybe even, just a little bit.
And perhaps I have already overlooked the chance to laugh with the such a mirthful minx at nothing, and maybe on more then one occasion. Heavens! What a curdling thought. That I might have been too judgmental on the occasions when fate offered me a chance to laugh. To laugh infectiously, and just because.
Knowing myself, as I have been, this is probably the case.
So, right now I swear to laugh out loud and seize the gift of mirth when I am next graced with a visit by the spirit of laughter and glee.
What about you?

This is Dr. Julian Lange, OMD, LAc. reminding you that your laughter heals – you and others.
This was sent to me by my old friend Murray Feldman, founder and director of the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy, a fine homeopath and teacher whom, I’m sure, would be right in there laughing along with this mirthful imp.

Inauguration Day 2009! Got Change… Got Hope… Got A Smile?
Smile, today is inauguration day, the 20th of January 2009, a day of change for all of us. We are going to grow!
Today the United States transitions from the Bush era with it’s journey to “the dark side” to a time of “hope” with Barack Obama guiding us through change and towards a renewed unity between all folk.
Most of the world’s people are enjoying a sense of optimism with this change in the U.S.A. but some are not. Some will be nursing a regret as they witness the demise of an administration that represented a culture of entitlement and consumption.
It seems that a version of the American Dream is coming to an end, the version that encourages us to believe that the earth’s resources are everlasting and for us to use like the equity in our homes.
Over the coming years all of us will have to rethink our priorities and sort out our needs and our wants.
For some this will be a bitter task.
For all of you, who will shed a tear, rend your garments, and gnash your teeth at having to reduce, reuse, and recycle, I am pleased to offer the above item from a prior era. An era perhaps similar to our own when our forbears had to tighten their belts and dig deep into their character: the great depression.
This familiar tune, sung here by Nat King Cole, was written by the comic genius, Charlie Chaplin with words by Turner and Parsons.
My hope today, is for all of those inclined to gloom on this occasion. May this song inspire you to cheer up, like it must have for your own parents, grandparents, or great grandparents during their years of challenge and change.

Cancer? How Humor Helped Dina Heal Her Tumor.
Dina With Her Life Partner Jim
I (Susan) recently interviewed Dina Ferreira, a very attractive woman in her forties from Brazil, for my upcoming Inspirational Comedy book which explores the healing benefits of humor, laughter, fun and play. She was diagnosed with an extremely serious form of brain cancer and went to many different medical experts who all gave her the same diagnosis and a very short time to live – six months to be exact. But she never gave up and finally she met a doc at UCLA, Dr Cloughsey, who was willing to support her in her conviction that she could survive and heal from her brain tumor.
And now over three and a half years later, she is not just surviving, she is thriving! She has set up a website to help and inspire others, linked to a UCLA website, which is listed below. She is so much more than a cancer survivor! She is involved in a cancer support group and she has set up a fund to help cancer research.
I asked her what she attributes her success to, and how she healed from her brain cancer and she cited several very important factors that helped her dramatically. We will be going into those in more depth next time. But she did give me her favorite funny movies to tell you. The movies that helped inspire her and made her laugh. They will be going into my upcoming book “Cheer Up! Laugh Your Way to Health With Inspirational Comedy 101″. You will also find them in an upcoming post
Her current favorite inspirational comedies are: “Mama Mia” and “Wall E”.
Dina’s website is: http://www.ugbf.org Go online and check it out. You will find it very interesting. She is involved in fundraising for UCLA and research into brain tumors - brain cancer research to find enhanced cancer treatments.
