The sun sets on another day…
…and I can’t stop laughing. I have been working on trees most of the day, and my body is sore, my mind sharp, and I sat thinking about how I was “a little sore” and saw in my minds eye the flashing button from “Airplane” ,”A little Hot”. It makes me, made me, and will continue to make me laugh as my muscles strain against the workout they have had today. The sunset was near perfect on the big lake and the big lakes water was nearly still, again, making me smile.
You know, sometimes when we are up against and obstacle we get caught in the moment and it can be disparaging. A good laugh or a good inspiration can overcome that. So what is yours? What is that spirit inspiration that chases away the blues? Is it a person? A place? A simple phrase? An old movie, or something else?
It is in the moments we have stress, strain, and more that we find that simple bit of laughter can change us all. As we feel at our lowest, we can remember the three stooges and lift us higher. If we are down, can we see the passion of the Count of Monte Cristo, and just feel a little better. Don’t have anything, find a lifeline and hold on, it is there. A chocolate cake, a blackened salmon dinner, or a movie with friends that may seem like a distant memory could be your lifeline to feeling just a little better, hold onto it, use it, and find that center again.
So as the sun sets on another day, I am “A little sore” with a light flashing, but in a few hours I will sleep for an hour or two and it will all be gone. You may be facing far worse. Find that person, place, or thing that gives you hope, that gives you pause, and that makes your day better. Find it, use it, and try to have a better day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, find your center, and live every day with all the happiness you can…
