We Owe Them A Lot On Veteran’s Day we remember again. Our men and women who served. We honor them now for what they did then. The liberties they preserved. Let’s never forget their sacrifice, the hard, heavy work they have done. They did what was asked, crucial needs they fulfilled with a telephone pencil or gun. We’re happy and proud to honor them. They gave so much more than they got. Our heroes, our veterans kept freedom safe. All of us owe them a lot.

You’ve heard that laughter is the best medicine, and that holds true for the brain as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain. Furthermore, listening to jokes and working out punch lines activates areas of the brain vital to learning and creativity. As psychologist Daniel Goleman notes in his book “Emotional Intelligence”, “laughter…seems to help people think more broadly and associate more freely.” Looking for Ways to Bring More Laughter In Your Life? Start With These Basics: • Laugh At Yourself. Share your embarrassing moments. The best way to take ourselves less seriously is to talk about the times when we took ourselves too seriously. • When You Hear Laughter, Move Toward It. Most of the time, people are very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again and feed off the humor you find in it. When you hear laughter, seek it out and ask, “What’s funny?”. • Spend Time With Fun, Playful People. These are people who laugh easily, both at themselves and at life’s absurdities, and who routinely find the humor in everday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious. Thanksgiving Day: Lone Star National Bank will be closed Thursday, November 27, 2014 in observance of Thanksgiving Day.

Keep a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a funny poster in your office. Choose a computer screensaver that makes you laugh. Frame photos of you and your family or friends having fun. • Pay Attention to Children and Emulate Them. They are the experts on playing, taking life lightly and laughing.
