'Ya Never Know!
Just about the time you think there will be a small crowd at Laughter Club everyone brings their friends, their relatives and their co-workers! Laughter Club this week was just like that. There were 19 of us ranging in age from 6 to 60 having a ball laughing for no reason. Hahaha!!! We even had a 13 year-old boy, Colin, who did a great job, and we all know how tough 13 can be. Especially when you're asked to laugh at nothing! But all the newcomers were amazing and we really felt some shifts that night.
Barb, one of our laughers who lives in an adult facility for special needs, was in rare form and had us all doing Milkshake Laughter right off the bat. Her joy was contagious. And then there's the gal who comes with her sister, Judy, who has Parkinsons. Judy's daughter is a molecular biologist and came last week and fully understands the chemistry between laughter and Parkinsons. And this week Judy's sister said Judy was feeling such relief in her facial muscles after all our hearty laughter.Yay!
And the photo of the laughter meditation says it all - so much giggling, guffawing and joy bubbling right out of everyone. One laugher, Justin, couldn't make it last week and said he really missed it. Not only the camaraderie, but the feelings that stick with you long after laughter club.
Have I said lately that I love my job?? It's the best in the world! Very good, very good, yay!!
