July

July 1 is International Joke Day

INTERNATIONAL JOKE DAY

International Joke Day was started in 1994 and marked the halfway point in the year on July 1st. International Joke Day is all about laughter; what better way to start the second half of the year than by smiling and laughing?

The laughter produced by a good joke is a universal human experience. All cultures and all peoples laugh, and a good joke is one way to prompt laughter. And with that, laughter comes good health. One pioneer in laughter research, William Fry, claimed it took ten minutes on a rowing machine for his heart rate to reach the level it would after just one minute of hearty laughter.

Laughter is more than just a smile and fun:

Laughter helps you relax
Laughter boosts your immune system and can help fight off colds.
Laughter makes you feel good with a boost of endorphins.
Laughter boosts your cardiovascular system like good exercise.
Laughter diffuses anger and angry situations.

Happy 4th of July

The Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day or July 4—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4 has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues. The Fourth of July 2020 is on Saturday, July 4, 2020.
