This week went really well. I met every one of my goals (almost). Some short comings, though, were:
I did a good turn everyday, but did not write any of them down. In fact, I didn't write in my journal at all last week. I really want a record of this time in my life and the things I am doing, so I need to get on top of writing!!
I found tremendous joy in the everyday and mundane, and I didn't even have to look very hard. Joy is everywhere. When you're looking for it, it's so obviously and wonderfully abundant!
Making one person a day laugh was also a cinch. I used to be the 'funny girl' (aka: class clown) and really enjoyed getting a laugh, but I lost my sense of humor somewhere between diaper changes and loads of laundry. It's been a lot of fun getting it back!
Decidedly my goals are easy, but I wanted to ease into the business of goal setting, make it fun, and get excited about a goal-driven life. And, do you know what?? It's Working!!!
I leave you with my joke of the week: (it's a little juvenile, but I still thought it was funny.)
So, a man wakes up one day, and every time he farts it sounds like "honda"
This freaks him out, so he heads to the doctors office.
"Doctor, I have a problem," says the man, and then he farts and the farts goes "honda"
The doctor is stumped, but he sends the man to a gastro-intestinal specialist.
Again, the man shows this new doctor. He farts, and the farts goes "honda"
This doctor is stumped as well. No one can come up with an explanation as to why his farts sound like "honda"
So, as a last resort, the man goes to see a medicine man.
He shows the medicine man, and sure enough: the fart goes "honda"
"Ah, yes." Says the Medicine man. "This is an abscess tooth."
"An abscessed tooth?" asks the man..."but I don't understand why the one would effect the other."
"Well," says the medicine man, "It's really very simple. Abscess makes the fart go 'honda'."

Ha, ha! good one Tiffany! I was hoping you would share some of these jokes you're learning with us. I would not say your goals are super-easy - at least for me having a sense of humor while being sleep-deprived is a very difficult task! I think that's great that you're doing that. You truly do inspire me - most people will probably tell you that I tend to take life a little too serious. It's good to learn to lighten up a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Tiffany! Keep it up!
OK. Heidi will tell you...I don't get most jokes. I always say my dad and sister got all the funny bones in our family. Thanks for sharing though. Maybe you can explain it to me or send me one of those "dumb" books about how to get jokes!
ReplyDeleteIt's great fun to have you with us...I feel your joy!
