 Laughter isn't just a good feeling; it can also be good medicine. It's good for our hearts as well as for our souls.
I come from a big, extended family, and laughter and joy and fun were always important parts of the Adler clan. It makes sense -- studies show that people tend to laugh thirty times more when they're in a group. I'm convinced that we can get through anything in life if we can laugh about it, and laugh with one another.
Take Sheila Dolan for example. Her laughter has kept her from death,
twice -- at least that's her take on it. "Sheila knows she shouldn't be
here after beating breast cancer and a blood cot on the brain but she's
not about to apologise for her extraordinary good fortune. She doesn't
mope about po-faced and whinge about her ordeal - she cracks jokes,
frequently, and with all the pitch-perfect timing of a seasoned
stand-up comedian." (You can read her story in the Worcester News)

 Breech of trust happens every day to us as consumers: The dry cleaners lost your favorite pair of slacks, the computer tech never returned your call, your health club changed hours without a warning and the drive through gave you root beer instead of diet coke. We are often unaware of our own breaches of trust and the ripple effect it creates in the morale in our daily workplace or families.

If you have ever wondered what is missing when morale is low and communication is non-existant, take a look at the trust levels. Without trust there is no communication. Trust is based on information, previous experiences and past history. Here are five trust builders that will boost communication and help restore trust and morale at work or in families.

"He was El Salvador's equivalent of Oskar Schindler, a man who was
given a chance to do something about the Holocaust - and took it." Now,

granting bogus nationality certificates during the second world
war has been rediscovered." (Read the full story in The Guardian)
