What is the funniest thing that has happened to you?
Gosh, there are so many things which have happened to me that I laugh about now. I walk into many walls, trip on nothing, and overall wonder at times why I bother moving. Most days I am great and fine, but I have my moments.
The first one that comes to mind is perhaps when I tripped on my own feet in a Blockbuster. I was wearing these shoes that had a really thick sole to them. I was walking tall and proud all by myself. I was feeling pretty good about myself that day, in fact.
I went to return a movie and check a new one out. You'd think that a fairly easy thing to accomplish, but not for me. Oh no, no, no. One must always trip on her own feet. Though I didn't. Not entirely.

Most entertaining was when I went to check out and we both acted like NOTHING had happened. I did smile to myself at that while I stood there, though. I later thought, why didn't you just say it?
"That was pretty funny though, right?"

This week's GBE is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me. That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even. She said: "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life." Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works. A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...
