March 26, 2009 at 1:46 am Knight Pierce Hirst asked: I’m determined to be a good sport. I just can’t decide at what sport I’d be good. Although my parents were golfers, I didn’t inherit their talent. Addressing the ball, shifting my weight when I swung the club, keeping my head down - basically, I couldn’t keep my eye on the ball. My grandmother kept me on horseback every summer - until a bee stung my horse. He bucked - I fell - he kicked me in the head. As soon as I regained consciousness, I stopped horsing around. I know you’re meant to get back on a horse after falling, but I didn’t get back on the hockey field either. Field hockey isn’t played socially. The last time I played was in high school. That was also the last time I was called right wing. With the ocean as my backyard, you’d think swimming would be my sport. It might have been if I hadn’t seen “Jaws” - if I didn’t hear the movie’s theme song every time I went in the ocean - if every ripple in the water didn’t look like a shark’s fin - if every few months a shark wasn’t sighted. Volleyball is played on our beach. The city provides the nets. All I’d need is a ball and - my youth. Although I’m an experienced runner - of errands - running as a sport is too physically demanding. After one run-on sentence I’m tired. Bike riding is popular. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to close my eyes when being passed by large vehicles so I don’t see biking as my sport. I thought I’d make tennis my sport. I love the outfits, but pretty isn’t necessarily as pretty does in tennis. Lawn bowling also has pretty outfits, but only my repeated loses taught me to be a good sport lawn bowling. Wanting to play something well, I went to a sports bar for inspiration. Unless drinking beer, yelling obscenities and bumping chests is a sport, it didn’t help. Friends who sail tried to help, but there’s too much terminology. Even the sails have names. I’ll stick with the sales at Macy’s. I’ve come to the conclusion what I am is a natural born spectator. I’ve reasonably good eyesight, I developed an impressive yell as a mother, I’m coordinated enough to clap and fit enough to do the wave. Being a spectator is something I can do - no sweat.

When we are happy and up, our immune system functions much better. Conversely, when we are depressed, our immune system tends to be depressed. Laughter and other positive emotional states can in fact enhance the immune system. In addition, the use of guided imagery, hypnosis, and other meditative states have been shown to enhance the immune system function. Obviously, if you want to have a healthy immune system, you need to laugh often, view life with a positive eye, and put yourself in a relaxed state of mind on a regular basis. By laughing frequently and taking a lighter view of life, you will find that life is much more enjoyable and fun. Here are some tips to help you get more laughter in your life. 1. Play With Kids Kids really know how to laugh and play. If you do not have kids of your own, spend time with your nieces and nephews, or with neighbourhood children with whose families you are friendly. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister. Investigate local Little Leagues. Help out at your church's Sunday school and children's events. 2. Listen To Comedy Audiotapes In Your Car While Commuting Check your local record store, bookstore, video store, or library for recorded comedy routines of your favourite comic. If you have not heard or seen many comics, go to your library first. You will find an abundance of tapes to investigate, and you can check with them out for free. 3. Go To Comedies At The Movie Theatre Go for those movies that are full of comedies. If you see a funny movie together with your friends, you will find yourself laughing harder and longer than if you had seen the same scene by yourself. You and your friends feed off each other's laughter during and after the movie. Laughing together helps build relationships. 4. Learn To Laugh At Yourself Recognize how funny some of your behaviour really is, especially your shortcomings or mistakes. We all have little idiosyncrasies or behaviours that are unique to us that we can recognize and enjoy. Do not take yourself too seriously. 5. Inject Humor Anytime It Is Appropriate People love to laugh. Get a joke book and learn how to tell a good joke. Humor and laughter really make life enjoyable. 6. Watch Comedies On Television With modern cable systems, you will be amazed at how easy it is to find something funny on television. When I am in need of a good laugh, I try to find something I can laugh at on TV. Some of my favourites are the old-time classics like The Andy Griffth Show, Gilligan's Island, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and so on. 7. Read The Comics To Locate A Comic That You Find Funny And Follow It Humor is very individual. What I may find funny, you may not, but the comics have something for everybody. Read them thoroughly to identify a comic strip that you think is particularly funny and look for it every day or week.
