The Climbing

"It was the most beautiful place under heaven or sky. Mountains and rock, trees, desert, and blue lake - all lay before him in exquisite detail. The air was so clear he felt he could see the end of the earth, the sky so deep blue, it seemed to merge into space. The view was entirely indescribable to those who were unwilling to pay the price, those unwilling to get out and make the steep mountain climb." "What was it, he wondered, that drove him to the summit? What was it that compelled him to climb the steep path, working his way up the dangerous trail? He couldn't answer the question; all he knew was that he felt it necessary to climb, to reach the highest point, to be on top of the world, to measure the distance, to see both sides of the mountain and the granite peaks all around. Being up there helped him, somehow, to understand the way things operated down below, reminding him that there was more to life than the daily grind."

Laughter is the best medicine....



Hey Friends-

Humor has always been a good friend of mine! It followed me thorough most of my life--I was in fact voted in highschool "Best Sense of Humor!" (Yay, for me..someone give me a prize, right?) I think my sense of humor originated from my very funny mother! Most of the time, my family and I, laugh to keep from crying..but we usually just laugh so hard--that we cry! :) Lately, I have found great satisfaction in humor...Some of the aspects of my up-coming surgery can be kind of serious and quite frankly just down right akward..A great example of this is having an EKG done by "Jose, the EKG Tech. Pro of the Year." Who basically has to feel you up! Yeah, akward! I know! How do you talk to someone in that situation? Well, if you are like me...YOU DON'T! You just get a good laugh about it...and go one with life! I guess that is my motto for life (or atleast it should be...maybe) and it has really set the standard for how I deal with the "tough times." Have you ever met someone that couldn't laugh at themselves or laugh at anything in general? I have, many times--I even lived with a few in college! Aren't they just the most jaded and depressed people ever? There is nothing wrong with laughter.....So, I say all of this to show you this video..that I find very funny! I don't know why...My family thinks it's soo stupid! BUT I JUST LOVE IT! And whenever I am having a bad day..I always watch this video...and I am reminded to STOP TAKING MYSELF SO SERIOUSLY AND JUST ENJOY LIFE!! So enjoy!
