The Gift of Laughter!

    
"Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on".

Of course Bob is a comedian and a fine one, but I do believe this comment is spot on and philosophically true.

Oh I am a firm believe that laughter truly is 'good medicine'. Cause sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll cry. And crying is no fun so - laugh!!

Love it!
