Comdedy, memes on FB, and I have a son who is an improv actor and a puppeteer in a local marionette theatre. Those things are what keep a smile on my face. One thing I know is that I have to CHOOSE to be happy. Every day, I have a choice, and I choose happiness. If I don’t do that, I am doomed to wallow in my son’s suicide and the whys and there is no place where that takes me that’s helpful or productive.

Depression can and will make you feel numb.. nothing is as wonderful as others see it Nor is it funny/happy.

Well, comedy has changed over the years and I have to. I find that some of the comedy I used to watch isn't really funny anymore either. I've changed and the world has changed. I hate reality tv. I do still live watching old movies on TCM.
