I am a currently within a monsoon season in my daily life that is leaving me not only soaking wet but shivering from the downpour. We are looking for a new rental home so that my son can go back into public school not oly so he can be back with his friends he misses so terribly but also so I can work again. The need for work at this point is the driving force since the Universe is shaking and quaking around my home. Now down to one car to share I am left without wheels during the day so that my children can get to and from school. We are in NO way in the position to purchase another car, I cannot get to work without mine and cannot make money if I do not get to work. Round and round and round we go.
My oldest visited Thailand on a grand journey to embrace his dream of becoming a MMA fighter, where on the third day of training he was kicked and unable to train further. His trip was amazing and he loved all but that part, wishing he could stay there because he felt like he fit in there. Fast forward a week or so since he returned to an ER visit and xrays and a broken leg that he continued to walk around on and train with. Life sure is interesting in this house and it is never dull!
This morning finds us without heating oil and also hot water, $1.50 to my name, rent that is due in 2 weeks scarily missing and a child still home with a fever and possibly strep. I have said it a million times: My life isn't for sissies. I fortunately have come to the understanding that those of us who continually face adversity were very brave souls coming into this lifetime. We took on huge life lessons and circumstances willingly for grand leaps in soul growth opportunities. At this rate I guess I must be really learning!
When I was younger like many others, I wished to be grown up. What was I thinking? Luckily The Creator blessed me with a crazy warped sense of humor and it has saved me a thousand times or more so far. It helps to be crazy and able to laugh in the face of disaster, it really does. It sure doesn't solve the problems but it sure does bring lightness to the unrelenting chaos that seems to be my life. Straight out of the movie the Money Pit with Tom Hanks, I resembled the scene where the tub falls through the floor and he stands there laughing until he cannot breathe. What else can you do right? I can honestly say if this life of mine was a movie, there would be some serious laughter to be had watching it in the ridiculousness of the barrage of disaster. If I were sitting with my popcorn watching, I would surely be in tears from laughter at the insanity of how many things can blow up in one person's life in rapid succession. SO why wait for the movie? I may as well laugh at the chaotic times I am finding myself in, pull up the big girl panties and hitch them to my ears as I keep going.
Laugh my friends. Laugh often and laugh hard. Find the hilarity that hides within the chaos. It really does help you to stay standing!
Beautifully honest and I thank you.
