Keep Your Sense of Humor

"Oh my gosh, is it 5 o'clock yet? Cause if you see her, tell her I'm looking for her!! I'm bout ready to leave this raggedy a** job and get home to my bed. It has been 4:55pm for the past 10 minutes." Palms are sweaty. Feet are just a tapping. People walk by with smiles on their faces, and you just roll your little eyes. And when the clock strikes 4:58pm, you pack your s**t up and head to the door. As you speed race to the parking lot in search for your car, you notice it's not in the same spot you left it in. You search row by row, space by space in search of your 2009 Nissan Altima. "S**t, did I pay my car note?" Nah...not at all. Your whip just got a taste of that Operation Repo! "Damn!"

You reach to your hip to call somebody to come get you. Only to find your iPHONE is on 5%. "Damn, I left my charger at home." You call as many people as you can to find a ride. But suddenly, everybody is "busy". Finally you break down and call a cab and pay him $45 to take you 25 minutes down the interstate. You step outside the cab with a feeling of relief. The cab driver smelled like old moth balls and Mac Sauce.  Searching aimlessly in your pocket for your house keys as you walk up the steps, you notice your door was already open. Immediately, your heart drops to the pit of your stomach, creating a feeling of uncertainty. You pry the door open and peek your head inside, you've just been robbed....

How many of us would have just lost it? (*raises both hands*) Does this sound like a bad day or what??Some of us would cry, throw things, break stuff,  or take our frustration out on others. We think to ourselves,"nothing else can make my day worse!" Oh but it can...your family could have been in that house. Hell, YOU could have been in the house had your car not been repossessed. All things happen for a reason. We may never know what the reason is, but it isn't something you should question. Think about it...Nothing Ever Goes Wrong. God has a plan, and he knew all day long what was up. "God could have told me though!" Hush your mouth and KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR. 

Keeping a smile on your face can go a long way. I had a friend who was in prison. Good kid. It was his first time ever being locked up or convicted of anything. I made it a point to visit him every Tuesday. And every Tuesday, he would have the biggest smile on his face. He was always telling jokes. Making light of his situation. Finding ways to never lose his innate ability to bring laughter to himself and others. And even though his circumstances were bad, he adjusted to it because he knew circumstances will never adjust to him. This kid was facing 5 felonies at only 21 years old. And though he may never know it, he inspired me to Keep My Sense of Humor. I was going through some things myself, but nothing like what he was going through. So after my first Tuesday visit, I left the jail facility with a brand new attitude. 

The attitude we carry about our situation is what makes things either easier or harder. The energy we waste getting mad, yelling, and throwing things only creates a bigger mess. (Cause now you gotta clean that s**t up! LOL) But seriously, NOTHING EVER GOES WRONG. It all has been written. Your car was repossessed because if you would have came home on time, you would have been another story on Nancy Grace. Keep your sense of humor...you almost just lost your life.
