Thank you! Thanks for the laughs. This was the best EHA Wellness Program so far. I enjoyed the information about laughter and mostly the videos. Excellent job. I’m working on me and it’s getting better! Love all of the programs!! And loooove the gifts!! All these challenges make me more aware of my behavior every day. This was an EXCELLENT unit, thank you so much for putting it together for us! My dad passed away during December and receiving Laughter Lifts updates reminded me to enjoy my time with others; as well as laughter being the best medicine helped me through this difficult time. The best EHA Wellness program I've ever been participated in with EHA. I have to say "Thank you so much" this was one of the best if not the best program. You delivered it to us at the perfect time. I shared so many videos and pictures with others to pass the laughter on. A++++ My favorite monthly topic by far! Loved the Dry Bar Comedy videos! I love this it keeps me accountable! Super awesome videos and pics! This site has me smiling and happy at 6:45am! Thank you for all who put this site and theme together, you are very talented! I LOVED starting each day with clean and funny videos! This was a well thought out program. The videos were so good I looked forward to them each morning. I wish we could get those every morning! I think this is one of the best challenges you have done in the last few years. I think it was exactly what people need during the holiday season! Best challenge ever!!!!! Wish it went longer. Glad it wasn’t done in February!!! This has been my favorite 'Wellness' program by far! We all DEFINITELY need to laugh, and having this at my fingertips was perfect. (We watched 'The Three Little Pigs' several times and shared with family and friends:) More like this please! Our entire office enjoyed watching the videos together each morning. I loved this program! As I was home after having a brain tumor removed—I loved the ability to laugh as I got my day started! It was excellent! I downloaded the app to go watch more! This was something I've never done before and I thought it was much needed and soooo much FUN! I looked forward to the emails daily and even shared the DryBar comedy with my family and friends. A few of the recipes were new and exciting and made me think about adding some new things to our monthly meal planning. Please bring this back in the future for wellness, I enjoyed it very much and it gave me a much needed break/release over the work lunch break. It's amazing what a brief 4-5 min. clean comedy production can give a person mid day to build them up! Many thanks for all the giggles EHA Wellness! I'm definitely a FAN! I really enjoyed watching the comedians and not having to worry about it being vulgar or uncomfortable. Really enjoyed this! Absolutely loved the clean comedy clips and photos with captions. Shared more daily with others then I have in a long time. When this started I thought it was not really going to make any difference, but this was one of my favorite programs. I really enjoyed the daily comedy videos. I think I will even download the dry bar comedy app. It really did lift my mood! This was one of my favorite challenges. I loved received something that made me laugh and smile each day! Dry Bar Comedy is great! I even downloaded their app so I can continue this good habit of laughing every day. Over the course of this program I found myself less stressed and more open to fun. I danced with my kids a lot and played in a goofy way because I was always in a good mood. This was an amazing experience! I really enjoyed the Dry Bar Comedy and didn't even know it existed until this challenge. I now have it on my Spotify list and my husband and I listen to it while we are driving and I listen to it while I'm doing things around the house. I just want to tell you how much this program helped me this month. I lost my dad to Covid 2 days before Thanksgiving; this program helped me to remember to find humor in everyday moments, and helped bring me some respite from my sadness. Thank you for helping to lift my spirits, and remember to find joy. I loved the videos and looked forward to watching them! A great way to put a smile on everyone's faces! Best one you have ever had! I am still logging on via Youtube to watch the comedians! Thanks! I loved the Dry Bar Comedy Videos. So nice to hear good jokes without vulgar language. Thank you. I loved the Dry Bar Comedy links! It was refreshing not to be assaulted with profanity. This was my favorite program so far, and I’d stay on the treadmill longer and login to the comedians’ entire programs. I LOVED doing this challenge the month of December. I watched the videos every day during lunch and they were just what I needed to get me through my workday! Thank you for taking the time to create this! Most beneficial program you have had!! The best one so far. I downloaded the Drybar. For more laughs. Thanks My kid and I loved the pictures! This program was perfectly timed! The end of this semester was SO stressful--the videos really made my day brighter! Loved the Dry Bar Comedy videos! Awesome! Love, love, love, the comedy videos! This has been my favorite for the 2 years I've been doing the challenges! They were short to catch at any time and I would watch and share with my spouse for a daily laugh! Looked forward to them daily! A+ I enjoyed sharing the jokes and videos with my husband. We really enjoyed them together. I used the comedy wildlife pictures with my first graders to reinforce what captions are (which is a skill in our Wonders Reading Series). They begged for a new picture every day so they could write their own funny captions and share them. I will use these again next year. I lost 70 pounds last year. Thank you for helping me find joy again! I really needed this! My challenge to make people laugh was at our lunch time in the cafeteria. I would tell 2 Christmas jokes to the 3rd and 4th graders every day through the month of December. They loved it. Afterwards they said they were sad I wasn't doing it any more. It was a lot of fun. Loved the comedians! Well done! Perfect timing!! I LOVED this program!!!!! I haven't laughed that hard in years!! I forgot how wonderful it is to use humor and laugh! Especially a hard laugh! I shared the videos and funny photos with co-workers, friends and family every day to give them a good laugh also!! It was wonderful!!!! I always like the meatless recipes! The comedians were funny without bad words and naughty stuff that usually turns me off of listening to comedians I loved the videos! I t helped me see the silly things that happen in everyday life and it showed me comedy that didn't have filthy language or R rated content. This program was fantastic! Thank you for reminding us how important it is to laugh! (You can repeat this one anytime!) Awesome program! I loved the Dry Bar comedy videos and watched them each morning while getting ready. It was nice to start the day with a laugh! I really needed this challenge! I had hamstring surgery this month and have been stuck at home on crutches for the entire winter break from teaching.
