two is better than one?

On Thursday I had a patient who is 94 years old. I asked her, “What is your secret?” She told me, “Laughter was the best medicine. Laugh as much as you can.” She’s absolutely right, and I’m pretty sure that’s why I don’t like to be alone. Crying and laughing are equally important means of expressing emotion. But it is uncomfortable to cry in public and crazy to laugh by alone.
