~ Lynn's Laughter Blip for July ~
By Lynn Shaw, Laughter Therapist
In the midwest, life tends to s-l-o-w down in July, one of the hottest,
stickiest, low energy times of the year. Vacations increase and
comfortable temperatures decrease fitting the adage, "lazy days of
summer." Things can get so slow in Indiana that a person can make a
laughing sound "Ha Ha" and be done for the day! Okay, maybe that's
stretching the hot weather impact! Unfortunately, sometimes summer heat also
brings its share of frustration: broken air conditioners, traffic jams, road
construction, children who say they're bored, high humidity bad hair days, and
detours not recorded on your mapquest driving directions. In a second, tempers
can flare and a "lazy day of summer" becomes an inferno. To help you
stay cool, calm and productive during July, drink lots of water and then get
"sprinkled" with doses of laughter. Try a Tee Hee, Tee Hee when
you're waiting in traffic. Listen to how other people laugh and then join in. You
don't need to know why they're laughing to appreciate the sounds. And, if you
have had one of those "inferno" days, forgive yourself and smile away
the frustration. Make it a lazy smile to go with the lazy days of summer.
Lynn Shaw resides in Indiana and is the creator and instructor of the
