Told Ya So!
Saw this headline this morning:
Study Finds Laughter Is Truly Contagious
"Laughter is contagious, and U.K. scientists say they've identified how your brain is "infected" by mirth.
Researchers at University College London (UCL) found that hearing laughter and other positive sounds trigger a response in the area of the brain that's activated when we smile.
"It seems that it's absolutely true that 'laugh, and the whole world laughs with you'," Dr. Sophie Scott, of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL, said in a prepared statement."
I've based most of my adult life - career and personal - on this very belief.
It's nice when I'm finally proven right.
Not like it happens all that often......
