DON’T GET LOST!!!
Over the years, I will admit that I have lost a lot of things–lost keys, lost phone numbers, lost socks, lost one shoe (???), lost directions, lost my place in a book, lost a child in a store (oh, no, maybe that was my mother-in-law who did that–and she’s not the one who told me), lost a used car lot (okay, I was out test-driving a car in an unfamiliar neighborhood), but there’s one thing that I have never lost before–my sense of humor. You’ll be glad to know that I have found it. Not a fun thing to lose though, because the harder you work to find it– the more it seems to elude you.
Want to know where I found it? It was just taking a little break–it came back slowly when I heard:
- the giggles of my children and their friends (you should meet these characters) as I cooked dinner and washed clothes.
- in silly jokes my friends tell me (you should meet my friends–oh, you’re one of them, aren’t you?) as we chatted over coffee
- in wild stories from my family (and you think your family is crazy) as we reminisce over great memories
- in the antics of my amusing cat (you’d never be the same) as she plays tag with my 17-year old AND
- in renewing my decision to choose to be happy–each and every day.
Think you’re tough enough to make the choice to be happy? It is a choice, you know? If you already live your life with a smile on your face and sunshine in your heart, you are my hero–I will be giving extra credit today if you inspire someone else to make that choice. And if you ever find yourself just a little bit down–or a lot–give me a call. I’ll introduce you to some of my family or friends–or my cat. Or better yet, let me introduce you–to You! Be HAPPY! You are the Best and good things are coming your way. Put a smile on your face! Smiles are contagious. Pass one on. I dare you!!!
