Let's be honest, the past few weeks have been rough. We're living like we're not used to, learning like we're not used to, and loving like we're not used to. Many of us would give anything to hang out with friends, go to the mall, play a favorite sport, or even hug our grandmother.
Our situation is not going to change in a day, but there are things we can do to help us and our loved ones feel better. One of those things is laughter... a little clowning around :)
As a medical clown, TED Resident Matthew A. Wilson takes the old adage that laughter is the best medicine very seriously. In this heartwarming talk, he shares glimpses of how clowning around can help patients (and medical staff) navigate stressful situations -- with no side effects.
Take a look at his talk here.

To fill your prescription of laughing, let me suggest one of my favorite animation artists named Simon Tofield and his series "Simon's Cat."
Go ahead, spend some time watching random cat animated shorts. You're welcome!
