Most days it is at myself.
Little irritations in life are usually an invitation for laughter. If we could only find the humor in the situation rather than be embarrassed or mad, life would surely be more joyous.
I am not naturally a humorous person. I have to work at it. I have the propensity towards grumpiness. One of my sweet daughters frequently tells me, “mom you just need to laugh more”—and so I’m trying.
This morning as I sat working at my computer I noticed it was unstable and wobbly. It bounced back and forth like a rubber foot had been knocked off. I felt around under the base but every foot seemed to be in its place. I tried again but it rocked all the more. I checked to see if the cord was stuck under it...nope! Becoming perplexed at why the silly thing would not sit flat, I flipped it over to examine the base. Oddly enough, it had all 4 little rubber feet AND two new feet sitting askew. I reached for one to see where it came from and it fell off in my hand. The second one did the same. After closely looking it over, I realized my guilty pleasure was playing tricks on me. You see when I write my posts I usually have a bag of Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips beside the keyboard. The Salted Carmel are my very favorites! Somehow as I was typing and eating, I managed to drop two little chips under the computer. As I typed they flattened out just enough to mimic a misplaced rubber foot.
I had to laugh! Of all the things to cause me frustration, it was simply my favorite chocolate.
Isn’t life like that? We allow ourselves to fuss and fume over the little things. Sometimes unimportant things, sometimes annoying things, but always things that are just a simple part of a bigger picture.
As Millie went through her cancer treatments there were numerous ‘little things’ that were bothersome.
Her only wanting to eat the same foods for days on end. Her demanding that she only wear pull up panties with Minnie Mouse on them. Her refusing to get redressed after diaper changes. The little things she tried to control in her tiny ‘out of control’ life were concerning to us as her parents, but in the scope of eternity they didn’t matter.
As you go through your day, I hope you can laugh more, and enjoy the little things of life more fully.
Blessings sweet friends…
