Stress Meter Up? Lower it with Laughter

stressI turned off the news. Ask me about what happened in the market and today I couldn’t tell you. I know one thing though. All this talk about the failure of our economy and its global affect was making me anxious and stressed out. And there was nothing I could do. About the economy, I mean. So I resorted to a little comic relief. It eases me back into a state of calm. Laughter has that affect on many people. I hope it does the same for you—at least for a few minutes anyway.
