Two years ago, I was diagnosed with uterine cancer.
It was then I decided to focus my attention on God and
comedy. I joined the Christian Comedy Association
(yes, there is such a thing!) and started taking classes
from Gene Perret , a former writer for comic legends
Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, and Carol Burnett.

Laughter releases endorphins and relieves tension in
difficult situations. It even tightens your abs, similar to
a workout. And who couldn’t use more of that? Have
you ever laughed until your cheeks and belly hurt? It’s a
lot more fun than doing crunches and chin ups.
Laughter gives you power. It’s a tool you can
use to change your mood, change your thoughts
and change your life. According to Richard
Benson, a member of the Association of Applied
and Therapeutic Humor, “The big misconception
most folks have is that you need to have a reason
to laugh...some kind of trigger or stimulus from
the outside. They don't realize that you can just
‘instruct’ yourself to laugh anytime you darn well
please. It's basically a free and legal mood elevator!”
So when life gets you down, try renting a silly movie
or digging out old photos of yourself with 80’s hair.
Before you know it, you’ll be smiling and laughing.
And when you laugh, the world laughs with you. UTS
