"Have I reached the person to whom I am speaking?" (Lily Tomlin, as Ernestine)
Have you had a good laugh lately? This week's health tip is laughter - a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict! Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

Congratulations to this week's prize winners!
