Follow your dreams!!

Except that one where you're naked in church.

When all else fails, laugh! I heard that you need to look back on your week, find your lowest moment and then find something about it to laugh at. So, I am looking back on my week: Our refrigerator broke for the 2nd time in 10 days. I have this wonderful idea to get out of my funk and bake cookies for a good friend that I know is struggling a bit. But I have to go buy ice blocks to put in my freezer to hopefully save some of the food. I'll do it together and kill 2 birds with one stone. Happily I make my cookies, man am I good! Then I ask Emily to drive with me to help me carry the ice blocks. She is 16 and likes to drive, so sure, she is helping me out, I'll let her drive. We put the cookies on the backseat, run to the store, stick our ice blocks in the car and joyfully head off to my friends to deliver my freshly baked cookies. First turn, out of the store, Emily takes with a jerk and I hear a noise that I can only describe as defeat. I knew before I looked, but of course had to see for myself. Yes, the cookies were under the ice block, a nice plate of cookies crumbs peeked out from under the sack. All I could do was laugh. Well, I was out of my funk, not because I actually took cookies to my friend, but because I could laugh at cookie crumbs. I am so grateful to my children who not only teach me to laugh at myself, but sometimes force me to!
