My 98 year- old dad is moving to Italy!
An email this morning to the family let us know that the news may come as a shock, however after much thought he felt it was the best. We are invited to visit anytime. I have to say, my heart skipped a beat before I remembered what day it was! He got me! I remember it was his mom’s birthday today and also a prankster. I do believe his positive attitude and sense of humour is one of the reasons he continues to age so healthy. Studies and research have proven the health benefits of laughing and maintaining a sense of humour in older adults is important.
Humour is good for the brain.
Humour reduces stress. Humour makes you feel good. There are many more proven health benefits! Also, when asked to describe the secret to aging well, many older adults mention, keeping their sense of humour as one of the most important virtues!
Laughter may truly be the best medicine after all! Wishing you all a Happy April Fool's Day! Enjoy a laugh or two today.
