And one that all of us should keep in mind. Ben & I enjoy having fun, jokes, laughing, being with friends, stc. On the other hand, my mother, who is 91, has always been a sour, unhappy person. She doesn't like jokes, having fun, etc. It's up to us to decide whether or not we will be happy & enjoy the life we have. The glass is either half-full or half-empty.
