- New Years Goal -

       New year, new goal.
       Laughter,
       a goal that provides
       many benefits.
       A wellness challenge.

       It makes the brain
       swim in dopamine.
       Is mood-lifting
       and removes stress.
       Increases metabolism,
       and burns my calorie consumption
                                   (I love chocolate)
       Stronger abdominal muscles
       and a well-shaped butt
       The face becomes softer
       - highlights the glow in the skin
       All this without plastic surgery
       - Goal's outcome 
                               - a win-win situation.

Marilene Evans Date: 12/15/2024 12:04:00 PM Way to go, Anne-Lise! Laughter makes you younger. My dance partner and I laugh so much every time we are in the dance floor cause I make faces and hand gestures and moves and he finds them funny or I just say something to laugh about. Yeah, and other dancers comment laugh is good for you and we're contagious! Blessings.
