Laughing and Joy

I have heard it said that children laugh several hundred times a day whereas adults laugh less than 50 times a day. Although I haven't actually read any serious studies to verify this statistic, I find that it is true at least with my own kids. They love to laugh and will find any excuse to do so. They really are very joyful.

Research has shown the health benefits of laughter. It releases endorphins, elevates mood, and burns calories! There is even a fitness program centered on laughing. If you needed a good laugh today, check out this video!
