It has to be a sense of humor. Honestly, I think I have laughed more this past couple of weeks since visiting here, than I have in a long time. It's so easy to get caught up in the bitterness and I am the first to admit I wallow in it at times; maybe leftover remnants of the doom-and-gloom mentality. But I don't think without my sense of humor, I could have ever survived.
Hats off to all of you that keep us smiling in spite of it all. You're awesome!
