And no, it's not that there is indeed a place for everything; everything in its place. Although I have, for the most part, tried to live by that rule. Nope, it's something completely different. After I grumped my way through yesterday, I left the office in a huff with my two Netflix DVDs in hand and headed home to the mutts. I was feeling tired and old and lonely and, all in all, pretty hopeless about everything in general. As I was driving along, trying to keep from further expressing my pent-up hostility at stupid motorists through the use of my horn and possibly rude hand gestures, I got to thinking about my client and his throroughly improbable sentence with regard to either a) his former daughter-in-law's unscrupulousness or b) his son's athleticism (I still haven't figured it out!) and I started to laugh. Seriously. I'm sure people passing me by thought I was nuts, but I was just tickled. Extremely. And it was then that I realized this:
I have a happy heart.
Or a happy soul - or mind, or whatever it is that God has blessed me with that keeps me from letting the events of life or, heaven forbid, depression overtake me. Maybe I am just not in my right mind, but I can always find something or someone (Lord, forgive me) to laugh at. I mean, I even laugh at myself. I am a child of the Reader's Digest generation and I know that laughter is the best medicine. I am looking forward to the start of a new year and a new beginning. I plan to laugh my way right through 2010.
I'm a big believer in the old adage, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I like to add, "And serve it to all your friends!"
