Your weekly installment of laughter and pondering…

I didn’t have much to go on this week. I found little to laugh about: I had two days of leadership training out of the office, three days of trying to get my internet re-connected at home while wishing I could be getting caught up on work that I missed while in leadership training. I was on the phone forever and missed out on valuable time with my son and husband.

I didn’t find much to make this week funny. However…

Apparently Vaseline makes a nice gift for runners. Um, yeah… okay. I guess.

I much prefer to laugh my way through every day of my life. So I know that this post=FAIL, but I’ve committed to looking for the funny each week no matter what. I’ll do better next week.

What I would like to say this week, in the absence of laughter, is that I think we all – myself definitely included – need to sometimes step back and look at what we have in our lives and stop being so angry about the things we don’t have. I’ve seen people get irrate over cheap crap at Wal-Mart, road rage gone nuts on my drive home from work. It’s time we all stop and take a look at ourselves… and try and laugh through the frustration in recognition of the fact that we have more than we need.
