Don’t Be an April Fool

April is a fun month, not only do we start the month off with April Fools but April is also National Humor Month. The entire month is dedicated to humor. Take this month to dedicating yourself to putting more humor in your life. It will help you reduce stress and live a healthier life, but don’t end your quest of putting humor in your life with the month of April make it a year-long, actually a life long quest to incorporate more humor in our lives.

April is a good month to reinvigorate your humor, the days are getting longer, flowers are starting to bloom and despite a few April showers the weather is a little bit warmer. This is also a good time for Spring Cleaning, clean out your closets and get rid of those things you no longer need. By purging yourself of unwanted clutter you will also feel a sense of accomplishment reducing your stress and therefore making it easier to find time to find humorous things to do.

I enjoy entertaining friends for BBQ’s and pool parties but my house and yard have been so cluttered with stuff the stress of cleaning up before guests arrived and having to move my things from room to room and still have clutter always hampered my ability to completely enjoy my get togethers because I was tired from shuffling my stuff and embarrassed because I still had a mess. This year I decided to get organized and I can’t wait for my gatherings. The back yard is organized so that there isn’t anything out-of-place. A friend was over and asked me what I had done to the yard. I have done a lot around the yard but the most notable thing is that you don’t find things just randomly placed. everything has its place and makes the backyard much more welcoming.

Now I can enjoy my spring with friends and share the laughs not having to feel like I have to apologize for the mess.

Celebrate National Humor month and combine it with some spring cleaning and you will reap the benefits of combining the two.
