It was Mom’s night out tonight. Yes, on a Sunday. It was really a great little gathering of women, moms and we were not quite so well behaved – not because of the alcohol (there was some) but I have to say that hands down, laughter wins.

No matter what ails you, it is a great remedy.

• A migraine.
• Kids home sick.
• Financial woes.
• Work stress.
• Family squabbles.
• Too much humidity.
• Summer coming to a close.
• Vacation ending.
• Pants too tight.
• Shirt too short.
• A bad hair day.
• You name it…

I am always agreeing when I hear, “you should laugh more”. My kids do make me laugh, my friends and my husband, too – but it isn’t nearly enough.

It is cathartic.

It is de-stressing way more than a cocktail or a massage or reading a book.

Tonight I was reminded, in person, that laughter wins the top spot on the list of things you should do every day.
