From The Hip

Sheesh, that’s a heavy question.

Just about every time I feel as though I’ve figured what my mission is in this life…the mark gets set out further. Something I’ve heard from the lips of my grandmother since a child was, “to whom much is given, much is tested.” Honestly speaking I feel as though I’ve been given various gifts that have required different levels of difficulty to not only activate but to also sharpen. One of which is the gift of laughter and the ability to make those around me laugh until we’ve almost forgotten our problems. Laughter honestly is the best medicine…some would say sex is number one but as someone who’s experienced both at times simultaneously lol…I’m going to still list laughter at the top of the list. Having the ability to make those around you laugh even in the darkest of times is something I cherish and take not for granted. Not many people get the opportunity to see their loved ones laugh until their faces are flushed and their stomachs drawn up so tightly they cramp. So, when it comes to describing my mission I believe I’ve been placed here to provide smiles on people’s faces…seen or unseen. Someone who can make you laugh will always be a welcoming sight for you regardless of how long it’s been since your last encounter…laughter helps you pick up right where you left off. Now…where’s the test in this equation? At some point the laughter stops…and you’ve said everything. But real funny people can find the humor in anything…even in the ultimate “not funny”situation…
