When you do find humor in trying times, one of the first and most important changes you experience is that you see your perplexing problems in a new way - you suddenly have a new perspective on them.

In looking for humor, keep in mind this guideline: Sometimes it takes a little time to see the humor in your upsets; you may not find something to laugh about immediately.

There is always something to chuckle about. Sometimes we see it. Sometimes … we don't. Still, the world is filled with humor. It is there when we are happy and it is there to cheer us up when we are not.

Humor can help you cope with the unbearable so that you can stay on the bright side of things until the bright side actually comes along.

It is still not clear from this study how laughter can directly help the heart but other studies have shown that laughter is beneficial for every system in the body.

Humor can be one of our best survival tools.

A little perspective, like a little humor, goes a long way.
