Serious Is As Serious Does

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty 0575737

I marvel how serious people can take some situations. Well maybe life and death and end of life situations and cruelty in the world are NOT light hearted but the vast majority of things in life, especially our day to day stuff we take THEM and ESPECIALLY OURSELVES way too important in the grand scheme of things. Looking back on things five years back, first you probably can't remember them, and then you were probably mired down in trivial worries and concerns. So work in most instances TO LIGHTEN UP. It makes the world of difference in how your heart AND YOUR LIFE feels to you, and remember this little quote:

Don't take life so seriously...none of us get out of it alive anyway!!

Had a meeting with a builder and got a boat load of ego about one issue with a home, I tried to make light but he wasn't buying, so I just decided to kill him with kindness and humor. They just can't stand it when you won't take the bait and meet their negative expectations. I came away feeling just fine.

Gary, I recall the Joker's line from The Dark Knight, "Why so serious?" Yes, he was a little demented, by the idea is right! Lighten up!

Life is way to short to be over serious all the time.  WE need to laugh a lot more.

Gary, I can find optimism and humor in just about any situation. To me, memorializing someone you love who has left this world by sharing funny stories in the midst of pain, is extremely healing and since they know that LOVE is the final emotion, they don't want us to hurt. They want us to LOVE, eternally and without condition. 

Anyway, wanted to share this photo that I took for Debb and Sharon prior to their arrival today, this is the morning that greeted me while I wait for them! (I took this so that Sharon would see it, since she's not here yet).

Now I have to go finish getting the house ready!
