    And Patti offers these wonderful bits of wisdom:

    “My mother had no end of tragedy in her life. She would make herself get up and take a deep breath and go out and do laundry. Hang up sheets. She told me that when she looked at the laundry, the sheets flowing in the wind, and the sun, it was like a fresh start.”

    and

    ” . . . we can access a lot of things that cause pain. This might seem really funny, but when I feel like that, I make myself smile . . . . I just sit and physically make myself smile. Because sometimes it makes you laugh, and then you just go, ‘All right.’ ”

    I have one of her guitar picks, you know. Soon as I reclaim it from that house Down South, I’ll photograph it and post the photo.
