Global Belly Laugh Day, January 24

Laughing is definitely the best medicine and although it’s been a little painful for me this week following the appendectomy, I’ve still been laughing when possible. If you love to laugh (and if you’re the cranky type, maybe you should try laughing once in a while) get your jolly on Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 1:24 p.m. local time for Global Belly Laugh Day.

Participating is pretty simple, just smile, throw your arms in the air and laugh out loud with a hearty belly laugh. Not a giggle but a from-the-gut bellow.

I’ll be in Sarasota getting my laugh on and Global Belly Laugh Day Founder Elaine Helle will be in Portland, Ore. Where will you be?

So why January 24? When I interviewed Elaine, who’s a certified laughter yoga teacher, several years ago she told me the numbers “1″ and “24″ have been associated with happy things, which is why she designated January 24 as Global Belly Laugh Day. My youngest sister was born on Jan. 24 and she is one of the most positive, happiest people I know. Maybe there really is a connection between “1″, “24″ and a good ole’ belly laugh.

Laugh often and much!
