The Joy of Laughter
January 2022
Do you have laugh lines or are you in a laugh line?
I would rather be in a laugh line no matter how long it is versus a grumpy line.
Brighten Your Days with Laughter!
Some ways to encourage laughter are as follows:
Watch You Tube videos
Watch a funny movie
Listen to a podcast
Listen to children talk
Look up funny words
Create a laughter journal
Create a Laughter Journal!
A laughter journal can be created by simply writing down funny phrases that you hear from movies, family, or friends. The next time you laugh, stop and think about what made you chuckle. Write it down in your journal so you will have the memory to refer back to.
I love to watch the Mary Poppins movie. I enjoy the part where Mary and the kids go to Bert's house. He has a condition of laughing too much. When he laughs he floats to the ceiling. The only way down is to think of something sad.

HaHaHa! Laughing Chicken
This tasty recipe is healthy, quick and easy. It is a great go-to meal during the week when you are tired from a long day of work.
Ingredients
6 Tyson thinly sliced chicken breasts (or 3 regular sized chicken breasts pounded thin & cut in half)
6 wedges light cheese
1/4-1/2 tsp. italian seasoning(to taste)
1/4-1/2 tsp. garlic powder (to taste)
cooking spray
1/2 cup bread crumbs
dash dried parsley flakes
dash grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Lay each chicken breast flat. Combine the light cheese, garlic powder, & italian seasonings (if you prefer you can just use garlic & herb laughing cow instead of the light). Spread mixture evenly over one side of the chicken breast (feel free to adjust amount of cheese used per your taste). Roll up and seal with toothpicks.
Meanwhile, mix together bread crumbs, parsley, and parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.
Spray the chicken with cooking spray and cover with bread crumb mixture. Place on baking sheet.
Bake on 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, and then broil until crust is golden brown. Remove toothpicks & serve.
