Something to Be Thankful For

Like so many of us, when I first saw Amy's crooked face as she gave the ONLY news I trust on CUNY TV, I felt shocked and dismayed. Paranoia, anger, fear all raged through me as I registered the notion that this mighty force of truth to power was a mere mortal and could be taken from us. I am thankful her ailment is not life-threatening and, like others, have watched her face reflect her returning health. The gleam has returned to both eyes, and her beautiful smile is almost full across her face. We still have Amy Goodman, her intelligent, uncompromising and piercing reportage. That is something to be very thankful for.
For Whom the Bell’s Palsy Tolls

[...] I feel fortunate to have good health insurance, yet feel unfortunate to live in a society where other people’s access to health care is subject to the whims of fortune. The hardest part of this temporary bout has been how tough it is to smile. It has made me realize what a precious gift a smile is. It reminds me of the world’s most famous smile, or, actually, half-smile, the Mona Lisa’s. Perhaps even she had Bell’s palsy.
