Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
I put 'does happiness heal' in the search engine and found this on sciencedaily.com:
"Happiness Improves Health and Lengthens Life, Review Finds
ScienceDaily (Mar. 1, 2011) — A review of more than 160 studies of human and animal subjects has found "clear and compelling evidence" that -- all else being equal -- happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers."
Duh...
Here's another fact for ya: I don't generally like to be around perpetually unhappy people.
I get that there is a time to be happy, and a time to be sad, and a time to be serious and etc....but when someone chooses to be crabby all the time about almost everything they talk about, I'll most likely avoid them.
I don't walk around with a smile constantly on my face, or laugh all day long, but I genuinely enjoy being happy.
Let's learn to enjoy life. Read a funny book. If you're reading this you must have some occasional internet access, go search and read an uplifting blog. Laugh with your kids, friends, family. Be corny. I love being corny. Spend some time alone and remember loved ones you've lost and the great memories they left you. Quit thinking about what you don't have and be thankful, or at least content, with what you do have.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog. Oh...and for future reference, I want to let you know that I joke a lot. So while I'm serious about the business of being happy, I'm also a jokester and like to make people laugh. So try to find the humor in most (not all) of the things I write about.
Have a nice day/night.
