One of mum’s favourite catch phrases is “Laughter is the best Medicine!” (she actually believes that she invented this one) or “If it makes you smile/laugh, it’s a winner!”
About going to her day centre & Singing For The Brain. Mum doesn’t want to go (I think due to anxiety of not remembering what it looks like etc) but I remind her that she comes out saying “I feel 10 years younger & 6 foot tall!”
