{Happy} Peptides

This post really goes along with yesterday's: Let Your {Happy} Loose.

Specifically thought today I want you to laugh more. Not at anything in particular, but recognize that your laughter will unlock not only happiness in you, but in those around you also.

Laughing also is thought to release endorphins, which are the happy peptides that are associated with a feeling of well-being, pain relief, getting a high, and orgasm. 'On average, watching about 15 minutes of comedy in a group increased pain threshold by 10 percent,' says the article Why Laughter May Bethe Best Pain Medicine on Scientific American.

So check out this humorous round-up I put together below and check out a few of these websites as well:

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it. - Bill Cosby

First of all, I'm giving a shout out to my best friend, Evan, for his twenty second birthday! Check out his blog about spending time in Akron, Ohio this summer. I'm really sorry I missed this birthday, but I'm sure we can find time to celebrate it in true twenty-year-old style when I return.

I know I let y'all down by not posting yesterday, but I promise I will post Sunday to make up for it. The truth is, I spent the whole of yesterday on my way to Dallas to go see a Texas Rangers game. They played the Detroit Tigers and won 13 to 9. The best part to me though was having my new camera to capture all the merriment so I could share it!

I really love three subjects (that I can think of) in photography: people who are normally ignored in society, interactions between people, and abandoned things.

I really loved her hair and hat

We went on a great night: dollar hotdog night! However, we didn't sit in the all-you-can-eat section as one of my new friends suggested we should.
