Depression Busters: Humor Bloggers
The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze. Humor and laughter can cause a domino effect of joy and amusement, as well as set off a number of positive physical effects. Humor and laughter strengthen our immune systems and help us recover from illness, as well as bring joy into our lives. The question is, how do we gain access to this priceless medicine?

Great compilation of blogs, T.T. I am honored to be included.
I’m honored to have you as a friend Jack.
Take good care and keep smiling. :)
Hello beautiful TT, This is a great post! I too know laughter to be SUCH an amazing healer and “happy-maker”. I am blessed in that my sweetheart and I laugh every day. We even laugh when things are stressful in our lives. I’ve never laughed so much with anyone as I do with him. When I was younger and I was hurting I tended to want to hang onto my hurt or anger and now if someone even remotely makes I yoke I latch onto and run with it because I KNOW I will feel better. Nothing is worth passing up a chance for a belly laugh. I taught voice and sound at one point and remember reading how India has something like 60 - 70 laughing clubs where people get together every morning just to laugh. Dr. Kataria is famous for starting the movement in India. His link is: http://www.laughteryoga.org/
Thank you for all the work you put into this post, compiling all these links. It’s very important that people NEVER forget to laugh. Love, RainforestRobin
@Robin
I also have a partner that I’ve been laughing with for many years. We have a Buddhist laughing meditation practice with friends and we get together most Thursday evenings.
Love ya :)
Thanks so much for including “Cabbages”, TimeThief. The interesting thing is that I also writer humor because it makes me happier. So I’m really delighted if it’s able to pass the chuckles and escapism on to others who need it. Nothing more satisfying than that!
I think that you missed crotchety old mans stuff - he is hilarious - but this is a nice set of funnies :)
Thanks for including me in your post Time thief, but I really shouldn’t be there I’m a serious journalist! You don’t win Pulitzer prizes for being funny!
I’m honored, truly honored (see, I’m even removing the ‘U’ from honored)
I recently discovered Monkey Fables And Tales and I’m addicted! I hardly considered myself a humour blogger till someone mentioned that it was funny! this is from a woman who cannot tell a joke and make people laugh, I leave them with that ‘ what you’re talking about Willis ‘ expression.
Again, thanks :-)
I am personally a believer that “laughter is, indeed, the best medicine”. As my affirmation said, I always find humor in everything. It helps relieve stress and tension brought by exhaustive day.
Great line up for the morning humor highway!
Laughter is the soul’s medicine, and it’s quite contagious - I wish more people would put forth the effort to laugh and smile than beotch their way through the day!
Nice to meet ya!
The gems of the blogs….These are all great reads and they do lift your spirits…..
@Ben
You’re right. I missed crotchetyoldman and momscrazylife too :(
Oh well, that just means I’ll have to feature their blogs in another post in the future. :)
@aningeniousname
You are outstanding interviewer, a journalist and a scholar and you make me smile. What’s not to like about that? :P
@praning
You are so wise and what you say is the truth for sure. BTW your praning’s shout is really looking good these days. :)

oh ya - Dan’s s blog is fantastic… I smell a part 2
@renalfailure
Ninja Vicki’s blog has a whole year of seniority when it comes to my readership. w00t! I recommend it.
@Ben
Your nose is accurate. There will be a part 2, I’m just not sure when that will be.
This is a great list. I read a lot of those blogs, mostly because they supply funny original content you just can’t get anywhere else. Great stuff!
…and, thanks for including Dead Rooster. I am tremendously honored.
Ahh…thanks for the mention, and what a great list of bloggers you’ve included me in. Yes, laughter is the best thing when feeling down … without Seinfeld or Curb your Enthusiasm the last few years would have been unbearable! :P
Such a great list of writers…can’t wait for #2.
Laughter is such a wonderful gift…the more I laugh the better I feel…I’ve enjoyed early morning reading of some of those listed, for some time now…great way to start the day! :0)
Cheers
Lots of stuff to check out here! Thanks for sharing this, I love laughing!

@Dead Rooster
I enjoy reading your blog and chuckling through your adventures. BC is a great blogging community and our beloved cabal of clowns are an outstanding part of it. Dedicating a post to those who keep us sane and happy was a pleasure.
@drowseymonkey
Lady you keep me coming back for more. Thanks so much for sharing your goodwill with me. :)
@azureislands
No sooner had I published this and had a night’s sleep when I realized how many others humorists there were. I’m glad you’re looking forward to part 2 because I am too.
@Karen
Hi there. It is indeed a great list and soon there will be another one to share as well.
Cheers
Thanks for this. I’ve been remiss on getting into BC and around lately. I’m flattered to be included in this list.
@monkey tale
I enjoy reading your posts. You always make me laugh.
