She was like in laundry list mode going through one culture after another with examples of their take, sayings, experience about gratitude. <br /><br />I don't remember any of those, but the one thing that really stuck with me is a statement she made about being flawed, wrinkles appearing, illness, a disability, accident, limp. Bad hair day. <br /><br />Do not remember the quote she made about this, but basically the value of our flaws is that they can be an opportunity to become humbled by them, to learn real humility. Humus = earth... being brought to earth. <br /><br />After that, I did not "mind" my mouth of rotting teeth, which I cannot afford to get fixed even to yank them all out. I don't smile, I don't flash them, but neither do they stop me. <br /><br />This is not "humor" but it might be a valuable piece to throw into the mix. Luckily clowns use their flaws, being poor tramp for instance, and their comedy comes from there. Dr. Seuss wrote great book about being old. <br /><br />Hang in there..you ain't quite done yet! Get well soon!
