Remember Sally Field in Steel Magnolias when she hands a stranger a piece of cake at a funeral and deadpans, “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.”
It’s what one might define as a throwaway line, but it’s one that stays with you simply because it captures something I believe is genuinely true: a sense of humor may be one of the most underrated tools in the aging toolkit.
