A Near Christmas Tragedy

Christmas Day and the scene was set for a
tragedy...or a comedy. I'm glad I had the
choice.

It's beyond cliche to say that Christmas
brings out the child in us. I revert to a
little boy each year - especially when it
comes to presents. I love to give them! But
as much as I enjoy playing Santa Claus there
is still a part of me that longs for someone
to give me that "perfect" present.

Today, building a fire while my
Grandchildren played joyously with their new
toys behind me, I found myself staring
wistfully at the flames. Something was
wrong. Self-analyzing, I realized I was
feeling sorry for myself. As much as I
tried to tell myself I didn't need anything
for Christmas, I was sad because I hadn't
gotten the big present I was really hoping
for.

This scene had seriousness' handwriting all
over it! My "inner-Christmas-child" was
ready to cry; I had put so much time and
energy into making everyone else's Christmas
wishes come true and no one cared enough to
make mine come true. Actually, let's be
honest...my seriousness was telling me that
God hadn't cared enough to make my
Christmas wish come true.

On the verge of launching into a horrible,
depressed mood, I was rescued by the natural
medicine of humor. My mood changed
instantly and I had a silent, heartfelt
chuckle. I didn't laugh at myself,
but with myself; I laughed at the
absurdity of my thoughts and at how easy
it is for me to by seduced by seriousness'
siren call of self-pity.

I laughed at my perfect imperfection, at how
perfectly silly I am. There I was, feeling
sorry for myself - surrounded by loved
ones and gifted with everything I need! I've
been provided with everything I need for as
long as I can remember and see no reason to
believe that will change. Perhaps not
provided with everything I want, but
always with everything I need.

Blessed as I am, I was still momentarily
swayed by seriousness. Tempted to focus on
not having what I want rather than focusing
on wanting what I have. And during
that brief period of feeling sorry for
myself, I was completely shut off from the
amazingly powerful natural medicine of
humor.

Yet it was not really a "Christmas miracle"
that saved me. It was a miracle of another
sort. I was saved by the miracle of
humor's natural medicine, and that's a
miracle you can start experiencing
today!

My humor nature, strengthened daily by my
unique Fun Factor prescription, came
to my rescue. The natural medicine of humor
didn't change my circumstances, but it
changed my attitude. Emboldened by
humor, I chose to remember my blessings
with gratitude and focus on the joyous
gifts of life, given so freely to me.

I was able to laugh. And I instantly felt
happiness and joy flood my heart. Isn't
that how you'd like to respond to
your seriousness?
