Laughter, The Best Medicine

Last month I decided to pick up a joke book of some type in memory of my mom. She usually had a funny story or joke for just about any occasion. She enjoyed reading through joke books or watching funny videos. I can't recall a day that she didn't laugh and many people said time and time again that as she struggled with her health for 10 years, her laughter is what kept that time frame from being shorter.

One of the magazines she always read was Reader's Digest. So, when I saw Laughter, The Best Medicine II by Reader's Digest I decided this is what I should read. I've casually worked through it and found many of the stories enjoyable, but more than anything it's brought back memories of mom. I can hear her laugh as I turn each page.
