Caring Corner/Wellness Tips:

Week 11 — Laugh More

🌿 Wellness Wednesday

This week's wellness advice is highly scientific:

Laugh more. 😂

Not because everything is funny.

Not because difficult things aren't difficult.

But because laughter is one of the easiest ways to remind ourselves that life isn't only about getting everything right.

Find the colleague who makes you laugh.

Send the ridiculous meme.

Tell the funny story.

Watch the silly video.

Laugh at something your students said—appropriately, of course. 😉

😂 Challenge: Find one genuine laugh this week.

And if you have to manufacture it by watching a video of a dog falling asleep while sitting up…we won't judge.

❤️ Remember: Joy isn't frivolous.

The hard things will still be there. The emails will still be there. The meetings will still be there.

But so should the laughter.

Sometimes a five-minute laugh with the right person is exactly what we need to keep going.

Family Announcements:

Justin's grandma passed away.  Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Better news for Emily's family.  Althought her aunt, Mary Beth, does have leukemia it does not appear to be terminal but treatable.   Your thoughts and prayers continue to be treasured as they walk out the steps for this process.
