The Best Medicine

Well here we are, folks!

Yet another Monday in the year of 2021.

I sincerely hope that you have been enjoying your Summer and doing things you love that keep you happy, smiling, and excited to live life!

And, if you are someone who is struggling with those above adjectives, that is totally fine.

We all have moments of struggling to find joy these days.

Exhausted.

Lost.

Drained.

Fearful.

These seem to be the adjectives that creep into our lives more so these days than ever before.

So, how does one find the smiles, laughter, and joy in life with the negative, dark moments that are constantly thrown at us on the daily?

Well, I certainly am glad you asked! And if you didn’t ask…too bad. I’m going to tell you anyway.

Go grab that Monday morning beverage of choice and cuddle up with your phone and computer and get comfortable because I’m going to share with you some of my favorite YouTube videos to watch that bring smiles to my life and help me experience laughter which is the best medicine.

So, get comfortable and ready to smile and laugh…guaranteed or your money back.

#1: Betty White Bloopers
-She is truly one-of-a-kind and I dare you to not laugh or smile when watching this. She is just so golden.

#2: Sarah Paulson Playing 5 Second Rule With Ellen
-This is such a fun game to play (seriously though–you need to try it) and watching these two play makes it even more fun.

#3: Glee’s version of “I Lived” During Their Series Finale Show
-I admit it. I was a gleek when this show was on air. And their songs are ones that I love and this one is no different.

#4: Disney’s Motivational Video
-No explanation needed here. Disney quotes and movie clips can give us all the feels without fail.

#5: 22 Musicals In 12 Minutes
-I love musicals. Period. And this clip gets me beaming from ear to ear.

#6: Kerry Washington Playing Speak Out With Ellen
-Their laughs kill me. That’s all.

#7: Betty White And Katie Couric
-Coming in hot again with the class act of Betty White and this video is just another reason why I love her so much. If only everyone in this world could share her mindset about life.

#8: Katy Perry’s Firework
-We all know this is still my favorite song to this day. Shocker. But it always puts me in a good mood regardless of what is happening in life. Even a decade after its release and it never gets old for me.

Well, folks.

There you have it.

Some of my favorite videos to watch when I need some extra laughter and smiles in my life aside from The Golden Girls.

I hope you will take some time to watch some of these videos and share with me your favorite ways to experience laughter and smiles in your life.

Finding joy, smiles, and happiness is even more so important these days, so make sure you take a few minutes out of each day to rejuvenate and fill up the laughter tank.

It truly is the best medicine.

Sprinkle sunshine always,

JP!
