May is Mental Health Month "Laughter Heals"
We often hear “laughter is the best medicine”. Laughter can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, boost your immune system along with making you feel better! How often have you been with someone who is happy & laughing and suddenly you start to join in the laughter? Laughter is highly contagious...much more so than a cough or sneeze. Research has consistently shown that laughing can improve stress, anxiety and depression. The next time you are feeling down, take a few minutes to read a funny book, reminisce about a funny event in your life, pet the dog, or play with your child. Surround yourself with happy, positive people. When faced with a situation that threatens your happiness, ask yourself “Will this matter tomorrow?” There are times when you must take yourself less seriously; there are also times in life that is inappropriate to laugh. Don’t take the weight of the world on your shoulders, ask for help if necessary. Life will be better & healthier if daily laughter is included.Article provided by Infinity Employer Health Solutions

Hi I’m Chato B. Stewart, over at site Mental Health Humor ( http://www.mentalhealthcartoons.com) I’m publishing a new cartoon everyday for the entire month of May to celebrate Mental Health Month.
I wated to ask if you would be willing to help us and have some fun too. I’ve details how you can participate and/or support below:
May is Mental Health Month and we are going to hold our 2nd annual Cartoon-a-thon. This is when I try do draw one cartoon every day of the month. Our goal is to bring awareness to mental illness and to raise funds along with having fun too. The next stage of the Mental Health Humor Cartoons is the development and implementation of the Mental Health Humor project and funding free public presentations. Myself and a few other local volunteers will be heading this up to bring it to the public.
Yes, funding is always an issue so I’m asking if you can pledge a little something to the cartoon-a-thon.
Things you can do to help:
1. Visit our website every day to see the new cartoon (posting by 1:PM daily)
2. Sponsor us by pledging $5 or more. (Paypal or personal check)
3. Ask others if they would like to pledge by taking up an donation.
4. If you have a blog or website / or e-mail list, post or send the new daily cartoon to them.
5. Print out and share the cartoons in your office or with your doctor.
