From Davita.com:
"In late 2006, The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine reported that people with severe diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, have better survival chances if they have a sense of humor and can laugh easily. The study was performed by scientists from the Norwegian University of Science and St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim, Norway, on people with end stage renal disease who were on dialysis. According to the results, people who scored higher on having a sense of humor increased their odds for survival by about 31 percent."
Interesting, have always heard that attitude is very important in dealing with life. Coming from a wacky family does help, we do seem to laugh a lot. Glad you inherited that quality!!
