How can I use humor to help me cope with arthritis?

Keep your sense of humor! Having trouble moving as fast as you used to, giving up a favorite activity like golf or using a handicapped parking placard when you shop are not particularly funny. However, putting a humorous spin on everyday observations and situations breaks the tension and puts your problems in perspective.

For example, if you drop or spill something and make a mess, say, “I learned this from my children.” If you need to lean on someone to get from here to there, tease that some people will do anything for a little extra attention. If you are embarrassed by the orthopedic shoes you must wear, tell friends you’re trying to set a new fashion trend.

(And, why not? Who would have thought that platform shoes and spiked heels with pointed toes would be a fad?) Laughter is a great stress reducer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
