And choosing happiness is in and of itself a form of resistance. And yes, it gives energy rather than stealing it, and it helps not only the person who feels happy, but those around them too.
Your Grandma is a wise woman, as well as a happy one - capturing moments of family togetherness is so precious. Great to see she had a fabulous dress on in the video too - never miss an opportunity to put on a good frock 🧡 we should all do that more often! I hope she had a good birthday.
Thank you, Tanya! My grandma loves to dress up. Her husband forbade her wearing any good clothes for 20 years, so when she got her freedom, she could finally wear what she liked and what looked good on her.

A beautiful lesson to learn.
I agree, Laurel!
"We can still smile after we finishing crying."
We still can do that ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏

when nothing has been won
we take dark hours and make 'em great
that's all we've ever done”

Good on her! May she always have fabulous outfits to wear (and some great lipstick!) especially after 20 years of being repressed like that.
Thank you! That was beautiful.
Thank you, Christine!
Yes. Me too. Same lesson from my grandmothers.

Just lovely. I totally agree with you. In what years I have left I choose to be happy and find joy.
It is wonderful that your family has those videos to enjoy. Thank you for your stories and poems.
Thank you, Jan!
