Worthy of a Chuckle Or Positively Out There?
In
keeping with the spirit of our Positivity Month Blog Tour, I wanted to share a
few lines I thought were worthy of a chuckle.
I read an
interesting post on Twitter the other night that cracked me up, and it went
something like this: "If a person consistently farted for 6 years
and 9 months, the force of the gas would make an explosion like an atomic
bomb."
Personally,
if that character were my husband, he'd be a world power!
In the
snoring department, however, I'd be a global leader. I don't know how my
husband tolerates it without earplugs, bless his soul, because I often wake my
self up emitting the most undignified noises created by womankind. I
don't have any medical problems to blame it on, like sleep apnea or nasal
polyps, it's just something I do when I sleep deeply. I do love to sleep,
though, don't you?
When I
was hosted on fellow author's blog not too long ago, one of his questions was,
"What is in your refrigerator right now?" I listed every
grocery item in there, but upon reflection these past few days, I should have
answered HUMBLE PIE. Here's why:
I have
some skin cancer issues that required multiple biopsies and that liquid
nitrogen freezy-stuff that burn the hell out of your skin, (especially when it's
on the face) last week. The process drained me emotionally. My body
ached. It interrupted our unpacking and I didn't write that day, either,
which is a shame, because that equals a waste of a day, and I don't like waste.
When the
biopsy on my collarbone began itching several days later, I thought about those
who have to endure open-heart surgery, and what they must go through as they
recover. I remembered my son, who had heart/lung surgery when he was only
a year old, and how the surgeon cut a crescent from his upper back to the front
of his armpit, and cracked him open like an egg to fix him. Two days
afterward, this baby was pushing his IV pole down the halls of the hospital
with both hands, and smiling at all the nurses.
That morning I had humble pie for breakfast and counted my blessings. All of
this was a delicious reminder to be grateful for what you have, and
thankful it's no worse than it is.
Keep
your chins up, my friends, and enjoy this beautiful weekend! Peace be with you!
