Laughter is the Best Medicine

Everything we hear lately seems to be pretty heavy, so let's lighten things up a little bit. March is International Mirth Month. Allen Klein, who the movie Patch Adams was based off of, founded Mirth Month as a way to remind people to always try to find the humor in situations. Sometimes when things seem especially stressful or bleak, finding something to laugh about can really benefit you. This month we have books and movies aimed to tickle your funny bone on display. Here are just a few suggestions to get those giggles started.
