Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: A baby hearing his mom's voice for the first time. There are some reactions you just can't fake.

I teared up. π I'm not okay, but in a good way.
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: Well... I owe some people an apology. π In my defense, 40 sounded really old when I was 18. Stay well (and choose your words carefully, teenagers),Liz P.S. Be honest... At 18, what age was OLD? 30. π¬ 40. Definitely ancient. 50+. I was more reasonable. I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me.
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: When Your Doctor Asks What You Eat Thereβs what we eat. And then thereβs what we tell the doctor we eat. π Nate Bargatze has clearly been to a doctor. He knows the difference. Stay well (and eat a vegetable occasionally), Liz P.S. Be honest: Your doctor asks, βHowβs your diet?β You say: Pretty good! Define βgood.β How far back are we talking? Iβd like to speak to my attorney.
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: Watch their reunion Some friendships pick up right where they left off. We don't know how long they'd been apart. But he didn't miss a beat. He knew exactly who had come back to see him. β€οΈ We thought you might need this kind of happy today. Stay well (and hug someone you're happy to see), Liz P.S. Be honest... How did this week's prescription hit you? β€οΈ My heart π₯Ή Who's cutting onions? π Instant smile π΄ I need a donkey
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: Every. Single. Day. Same computer. Same desk. Same me. And yet. My computer wants proof. So does my bank. My email. My pharmacy portal. Apparently, all of them need additional evidence that I am, in fact, me. Fair enough. Some days I'm not entirely sure either. π Stay well (and keep your phone nearby),Liz P.S. Be honest... How many times today has a computer asked you to prove you're you? Zero. It's been a good day. Once or...
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine This week's prescription isn't a joke. Stay with me β it's worth it. π This week's prescription: (Video: @abigailsauthentic) A woman in West Palm Beach asked a complete stranger if she could sit on her porch and eat her lunch. The stranger said yes. What happened next reminded us that there are still a whole lot of good people in this world. We thought you might need that reminder today, too. Stay well (and make room on the porch), Liz P.S. Be honest:...
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: I feel personally attacked. Every week, I am absolutely certain that NEXT week will be calmer. Next week, I'll catch up. Next week, I'll get organized. Next week, I'll have my ducks in a row. And somehow... next week has yet to arrive. Stay well (and hang in there until next week), Liz P.S. Thanks to Amy for sending this one my way. (She gets me.) Now be honest... When someone asks how things are going, which one best...
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: I've never really thought about silent letters before... Now I can't stop noticing them. Who decided the D in sandwich should just... hang out? Or the B in subtle. Poor little guy. He's been waiting centuries for someone to pronounce him. Comedian Michael McIntyre has a proposal: Silent Letter Day, when every silent letter finally gets its moment to shine. Honestly? I'd attend. Stay well (and pronounce your silent letters...
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: Every generation had its own cure for boredom. Ours didn't involve Wi-Fi, smartphones, or streaming. It involved drinking from the hose, using our imagination, and being told to be home before the streetlights came on. And somehow... we survived. π Stay well (and appreciate your Wi-Fi), Liz P.S. Finish this sentence: "When I was bored as a kid, I..." Me? I rode my bike and roamed the neighborhood until dark. Good times. Hit...
Hi Reader, Laughter Is the Best Medicine π This week's prescription: Kindness isn't complicated. Sometimes it's a hug from a complete stranger. Sometimes it's simply choosing to brighten someone else's day. Fun fact: Hugs lower stress and release oxytocin, often called the "love hormone." So maybe this whole email counts as preventative care. Know someone who could use a little boost today? Send this their way. Stay well (and go find someone to hug), Liz P.S. If you could hug someone right...
