Amused

We all make a fool of ourselves sometimes don’t we? Do you laugh at yourself when you do something daft or are you embarrassed and which the ground would open up and swallow you?

Personally, I’ve found myself in both situations, as I guess it depends on what you’ve done that’s so daft and who your with, how you respond. If I’m with friends or family I can probably laugh most things off, however if I’m with strangers or in a meeting I’m far more likely to simply want the ground to swallow me.

Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, no matter what we do or who we’re with, the ground never opens up and swallows us, so isn’t the best thing, just to see the funny side of the situation instead of stressing about something which is effectively now history? Easier said than done I know, but as the following saying says, at least we’ll give ourselves something to laugh about at any time!

In this last weeks, I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I’ve been hurt and upset about some things that were said to me. Things which were completely unfair and founded in nothing but guesswork, and that hurt! (see my earlier blog post entitled Why Oh Why and People!)

If you follow me on Twitter you may also have read one of my tweets from Monday evening when I stated that I’d had a really crappy day on Monday and hoped that my week would only get better…well I am glad to tell you that it did get better!

I just love how when you’re down and feeling really low, friends are there to pick you up and raise your spirits, helping you to see things from a different, more positive perspective. Thanks you my friends…you know who you are!

My working week was rounded off today by meeting up with a friend I’ve not seen for a while, for lunch. We had a good blether and a good laugh. It was just what I needed after some of recent events. Thank you my friend…you know who you are!

What I want to say about this is that I truly believe that having friends come along and lift you up when you’re at your lowest, is God‘s doing. He knows when we’re hurting, He knows when we’re in need, He knows when we need help and He alone is able to send us the help we need. Thank you God, for all you do for me.

God is with us everyday, wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Trust Him for all you need and He will not let you down.
