I love to laugh... loud and long and clear

I find that there are many days that I sit in isolation and I wonder "what am I doing this for?". I cry a lot. I average about a box of kleenex a month in tears. I cry about almost everything from emotional ads on tv to movies with happy endings to my own recovery. I slip quite quickly into depressions and find it hard to get out of them. But there is one lifesaver that I can toss myself to help me through those moments - comedy!!!

Saturday Night Live is one of my favorite shows. I tape it weekly and if I can't be home (or can't stay up), I can watch it during the week. Each new (and returning) host has my sides splitting and some times they even manage to get a good musical guest once in a while. If one week goes by without SNL, I feel like I have missed out on my catch up of news for the week - thank you very much weekend update! Simply put, I love Saturday Night Live.

Everyone needs a good laugh. My go to is SNL, but i will delve into anything from youtube quickies to hour and a half long stand-up specials on HBO. I love to laugh and always find myself thinking that I don't do it often enough

From www.mylifeisaverage.com to www.peopleofwalmart.com I find little ways to escape into hilarity - even if it is just for a moment or two.

It's been said that laughter is the best medicine, and I could not agree more.  (Just have a look at John Mulaney's stand up about "The Best Meal Ever") I often find myself wishing there were hours upon hours of South Park and Summer Heights High marathons so that the laughter could go on forever.

The next time you are feeling down, flip on The Comedy Network, strap on that adult sized diaper and get ready to laugh until your sides split! It will boost your mood (and will some times even keep it up for a little while) and you'll be grateful!
