How to Laugh While Getting Stung

"It all starts with a SMILE"

There I stood. The king looking over his domain. And what I
saw was good - it pleased me and I knew all was right with the
universe. Then I got an inevitable surprise. More on that in
a moment...

You know very well that I don't advocate pessimism. Some
people say the glass is half-empty, right? I say, I can't wait
for the refill!

But you can be realistic without being pessimistic. And, once
again, humor comes to your rescue. Humor will help you stay
prepared. Not by having you put on "rose-colored-glasses", but
by keeping you sharp and in the present moment.

This weekend my wife and I held our annual family camp out on
the Kuhn farm (the farm I referenced, by the way, in my opening
paragraph). Our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews
all come out for a big hot dog roast and overnight tent-fest in
one of our back pastures.

Can you guess what happened last night? Yep. It rained.

Was the camp out ruined? No. Just altered. We all had a
great time as our sense of humor helped us modify our
expectations and incorporate the rainfall.

Instead of grousing and complaining, the Kuhn adults were heard
to be laughing at our circumstances. In fact, I even heard
someone say, with a chuckle, "There's always a horsefly!"

Let me tell that story now. I had just finished mowing my
expansive front pasture and was enjoying a welcomed glass of
cold iced tea as I surveyed my farm at sunset. It was a warm
summer evening and I had worked hard all day. From my front
porch, I felt like God, Herself, was smiling Her approval on me
at that moment.

And, in the very next moment of my rapture, I felt a horrible
sting on the back of my neck. I had been bitten by a
horsefly! And I laughed - certain that horsefly had been sent
to remind me not to get too full of myself nor too attached to
my expectations.

In fact, when seen in this light, with the help of your humor
nature, you can actively cultivate love and appreciation for
the horseflies and camp out rainfalls in your life! Please let
me know how it goes for you.
