It was a typical Wednesday. My wife and I were speaking in a nursing home (疗养院) about our successful recoveries from our heart attacks. Afterwards, one of the other residents(住院病人), Miriam, asked if we had a few minutes to talk.
“I’ve always thought that to be    I need three things: someone to    , something to do and something to look forward to,” she said. “I’ve got people here to love, and the activities to    me as busy as I want, but I don’t have anything I’m looking forward to. Do you have any    ?”
“What did you look forward to before you came here?” we asked.
“Oh, I used to love to laugh with others,” Miriam said.
“What did you    about?” we asked.
“Everything I could see, hear, feel, taste or smell,” she said with a smile.
At that very moment, we got the idea to start our    . We began looking for humor, and we used all of our    .We started with a teabag with the    : You are like this teabag… only in hot water do you realize how strong you are.
We continued    and found cartoons and videos filled with humor. People brought us stickers, books, games and magazines. We    together humor baskets with books, tapes, greeting cards and toys for children of all ages.
Of course, we    a humor basket for Miriam, the woman who had    us on this project – “Search for a Smile and Share it”. She told us that the    of her day was sharing the    of her basket with everyone she saw.
The project was so    that other facilities heard of it and made special    . One nursing home asked us to make a humor cart, like a shopping cart. Volunteers    this down the hallways, sharing smiles and laughs with    . Still another nursing home requested that we    a humor room, complete with a projector showing fun videos.
What started as a simple gesture to    one elderly woman turned into a lifetime project.
