friday nite i had the opportunity to see damon wayan's at cobbs comedy club...
i usually do not like comedy clubs...some weird fear i have that "i" will be the one picked on...definately not the kind of attention i crave for...there are always those obnoxious people that make a point of annoying the comedian...i guess in hopes of getting a little bit of the lime light...me...not so much...i just want to sit and enjoy the show...
friday...i got a chance to do that...damon was hilarious...i laughed till my stomach hurt...it was THE best medicine...
the wayans have a full family of comedians...all the brothers are funny...can you imagine what there family get togethers must be like?
although it has been my birthday week...and every day has been so much fun and full of love from my friends and family...there is the underlying stress that is there...finances, the economy, feeling pulled into situations that i shouldn't be a part of...but am...all in all...when i get home...that is what awaits me...stress...
friday nite showed me how wonderful laughter is...i am sure that there was a room full of people that had stress, hurt, loneliness, loss...but for a while...everyone just laughed...does it make the pain go away? does it make the stress go away? no...it is still there...but the laughter from deep inside you...when it erupts...it in some way releases some of that...even if only for a short time...
throughout the weekend...i would remember some of the things that damon had said in his show...and it brought the smile back...brought the laughter back...
research has shown that laughter has health benefits as well as a way for stress management...and the good thing is...you can get it for free...
