↔ life on its own terms is often anything but funny. ↔

but if i can keep a sense of humor about me, things that might overwhelm me can be made bearable.
laughter is often the best medicine, or at least that is what the readers digest has been telling me since i was old enough to read it. and not that i disagree, i am one of those who takes things far too seriously some days. well honestly most days, this is the way i have been for as long as i can remember, and even in recovery, i still fall back into that same old pattern. one day perhaps i will be one of those light spirits that can laugh at all my foibles and move on, for now, i can just accept that many times, in many situations i will be far far too grim and serious.
it has been my experience, that when i do finally let go and lighten up. i do handle the bumps in the road better. what i want and what i get are often not the same thing, that difference is what i am so glum about, after all to paraphrase my blog from yesterday, don’t they know who the f*ck i am?
life is supposed to be simple after some time in recovery, and i am supposed to be able to take those complications in stride, laughing all the home.
anyways, one of those bumps has come along and i have to respond to it.
bak later perhaps.
well i am back, and it has been quite a busy day, a good day but man oh man, i hate paying the price to be successful some days. the funny part of that last statement would nbe how much i would be whining if my cupboard was bare, my gas tank empty and i lacked the resources to do anything about it ;)
so lighten up don and move on, after all the are whole bunches of funny things just waiting to happen!
