World Laughter Day
Why didn't someone tell me that World Laughter Day is on the first Sunday of May (yesterday)? Had I known this, I would have reminded myself to laugh at my ills rather than to cry/complain/worry about them as I did yesterday.
Either way, yesterday marked the eleventh year of celebrating World Laughter Day, which was first celebrated in January 1998 in Mumbai, India. It was a happy day for many participating individuals who, on this day, were challenged to laughing for a straight minute (or longer, if you can!). The Laughter Arts and Science Foundation has plenty of cool ways to laugh it up on this day and provides a list of events around the world, too.
If this video from a celebration on last year's World Laughter Day doesn't make you happy, then I don't know what will.
Reuters reports that this day is quite popular all over Japan, which is ending one of its longer holidays of the year, Golden Week.
Or, if you're interested in trying your tummy at a dose of laughter at a local laughter yoga studio, go HERE.
