Your Friday photo is in honor of Global Belly Laugh Day…

Avatar Meher Baba always encouraged jokes and laughter.

Global Belly Laugh Day

Global Belly Laugh Day is a day for having a good, deep chuckle. It is about finding what is funny for each person and trying to share in the joy. Having a good laugh each day is an excellent practice. It is said to be good for your health — producing endorphins, reducing stress, improving the immune system, and increasing blood flow.
