We all have been there and have had friends going through a bad patch, illness, death, job loss, divorce, etc. and sometimes all at once. There are many ways to help but one of the best I think is humor. A funny movie or book is always a good choice. What also is fun are some Utube or web sites that can brighten your day.
Have you seen the ‘Old Spice Ad’? This is a laugh and a cheer up. Got those winter blahs and that trip to someplace warm is not going to happen? Here is the solution to view, and then ask if that didn’t make you feel better? www.youtube.com/watch?v=owGykVbfgUE

Humor can lift you up, get you laughing and feeling better. When I was going through chemotherapy and had little energy and felt poorly , I had one friend play the piano and sing on the phone to me, badly. She was so awful that it was very funny. If I didn’t pick up the phone she would leave her song on my machine and I would save one of her routines to crack me up at another time.
I don’t think you can overdose or ever get too much of humor as a home remedy. Inexpensive and thoughtful, sharing the humor is the best home remedy around.
