It's hard to have to change most of your techniques due to age, illness, etc. It's doubly hard when all you see is how you used to be. But there is still a lot of good we can do no matter what the situation. There are a lot of seniors, hospice or retired people sitting around wishing someone would care enough to visit them. It's almost an untapped market. Hit the yellow pages, check with friends, family or churches. Find out who's been sick and get your new clown gear on and give them a visit. You only need to visit for about 15 mins. Or you can call them on the days that you're not feeling up to going out. It doesn't take long to show love or brighten someone's day. I was injured on the job and was in constant pain. I couldn't go like I used to and became quite depressed. Then I realized that there are others who may be sick and stuck in the house, too, so I started calling people. Great things began to happen for me and them. I didn't feel useless anymore and they felt someone cared! Be encouraged. There's still a lot of clown in you. Go on an use it, girl!
