laughter the best medicine

“The best way to cheer yourself up is to try and cheer somebody else up.” Mark Twain


Most people take life far too seriously. You and I are not going to get out of this life alive so why not enjoy the gift of life today as if it was your last. One day you will be right. In my book, The Road to Happiness is Full of Potholes, I stress that one of the key traits of truly happy people is their ability to have fun. Laughter is medicine for the soul. It helps you reduce the negative impact of the stressors in your life as well as see the problems you may be facing for what they really are, temporary teachers on the path of life.

For 73-year-old grandmother Marlene Vallis, playing golf at McLeod Country Golf Club is not just about enjoying the sport she loves, but a chance for her to bond with her 13-year-old grandson.

Mrs Vallis and her grandson Sam Whiteman share the same passion and love for golf as each other, playing regularly at McLeod.

“Golf is the type of sport that you can enjoy with your grandchildren and pass on your skills to them,” Mrs Vallis said.
