I love Lucy. Most of us do. If she were still alive, Lucille Ball would have turned 100 years old this weekend. I love her antics, her pratfalls, her sense of humor. I identify with her self-depreciation, her ability to laugh at herself and her soul. In my book, she is the greatest female comedian of all time.
Even though she has been gone since 1989, we can still share in the laughter she evokes because she lives on forever in television reruns. Fans young and old still laugh at her stupid stunts and her slapstick humor. Remember Vitameatavegamine? Remember the candy factory? Remember grape stomping? All classic Lucy.
It is good to laugh. It warms the soul. If you don’t laugh, and laugh often, I heartily recommend it! Corny jokes aside, laughter is the best medicine says one cliché. But it is true; research has even shown that patients who laugh a lot get better quicker. Ever join a first grader in laughing over a knock-knock joke? How about sharing a bit of humor with your grandpa? We can laugh at ourselves over stupid mistakes we make and enjoy the humor they bring.
Even the bible has some good things to say about laughter. Proverbs 17:22 says: “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” Laughter does bring us joy – and who doesn’t need a little joy and happiness in their life?
So laugh! Find something funny today to laugh about, and your world will be better for it.
