HA HA Helen of LAFOLOT and Amazing Anna!

WOW! Life’s events never cease to amaze me!
[If my computer wouldn't have unexpectedly shut down -
If I wouldn't have left my house to drive to a new local diner -
If the diner wouldn't have told me they just had a power outage (fire trucks were rushing to the scene of an accident)]
If I wouldn’t have decided to head up the road in the other direction to Olive Garden Restaurant -

I wouldn’t have MET – AMAZING ‘HEALTHY LAUGHER’ ANNA!
[who was sitting outside the restaurant with her large-numbered party - FAMILY - for a 50th birthday celebration.]

As I was exiting the restaurant, a woman RETURNED my SMILE [there's my SMILE CAMPAIGN POINT!] I shuffled through my Yellow, Smiley Face bookmarks for one that had a comment about smiles; so I could reward her. I gave her one that said: ‘Smiles Spread Sunny Feelings all over the World!’

I told her she had just given me a POINT by returning my smile. She BEAMED!
Don’t you remember me? Aren’t you the woman that came to Bethany Towers for the laughter stuff?

WOW! I found out her name was ANNA. Anna had only ever attended ONE of my HEALTHY HAPPY HOUR Laughter Club events at a senior apartment building that allowed me to use it’s cafeteria in exchange for residents attending for free.

Anna proceded to tell me she couldn’t come back because of her Hernia.

BUT! She told me: ‘YOU KNOW, EVER SINCE I WENT TO YOUR LAUGHTER SESSION, I CAN NOW BEND AND TOUCH MY TOES!’

She proceeded to tell me: My friends and I do the Cell Phone Laugh all the time, when we are out and about!

She kept calling out to her family members, telling them to ‘COME OVER HERE, THIS IS THE LADY I TOLD YOU ABOUT, THE ONE ABOUT THE LAUGHTER!’ Then, she’d have me demonstrate.

So there we were, laughing smiling, some family members looking at us like we were nuts, but Anna was SO THRILLED to be able to introduce HA HA HELEN SZOLLOSY OF LAFOLOT to her family! I had no problem obliging!

I asked Anna if I could take her photo. She not only gave me permission to take the photo, she gave me permission to put it out on the net.

Here she is! AMAZING ANNA – who FIRMLY BELIEVES the LAUGHTER has now given her body the ability to allow her to bend over and touch her toes!

I salute lovely, amazing Anna – and thank her SO MUCH for the GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT and sharing her family, story and time with me!

Live Life! Laugh Often! …and maybe you’ll be able to touch YOUR toes, too!
Stay Sweet!
Spread those SMILES by the MILES!

Helen D. was about 96 years old,
full of LOVE, SMILES, LAUGHTER and SPARKLING EYES!
She had a wonderful, scratchy, high-pitched voice – which happens as we age.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED that Helen D. would show up and she didn’t mind if it was just us laughing together!
I said to her: I find it amazing, that the people that show up regularly at my laughter programs at Senior Centers are those over the age of 90! I said: THAT says something for laughter and longevity!

She agreed.

Well! Of all places, I ran into two women that also lived at her apartment building 2 days ago. It was at the DOLLARTREE store where I get supplies – a FUN PLACE. So it was APPROPRIATE that I should hear about my LAUGHING friend Helen D. when I went there.

Evidently, Helen D. had to have the last laugh!
Helen died in her apartment on THE FOURTH OF JULY (Independence Day!)
I’m sure Helen D., sparkling eyes, laughter and smiles is thrilled that

SHE GOT TO GO OUT WITH A BANG! I think her spirit flew to the heavens with all the Fireworks displays going on and she was LAUGHING WITH GLEE!

I miss her greatly, but just thinking of her brings smiles and laughter to my heart and soul!

FLY FREE LAUGHINGLY HELEN D!!!!!!

Just like you to have the last laugh and GO OUT WITH A BANG!

Live Life! Laugh Often! and maybe you’ll live to the ripe age of 96!
Ha Ha Helen Szollosy of LAFOLOT
Living Life! and Laughing Often!
Next time you see fireworks – think of Helen D – laughing freely!
