Stupid Things We Do…  You know… most of them can turn into a positive if we choose. 

Examples:

1)     My sister was getting her hair cut by her daughter outside.  Her son-in-law decided to hose her down.  STUPID thing to do to your Mother-in-Law…  But what are her choices?  Get angry… call him names… or laugh about it… 

My theory?  If you’d secretly or openly laugh if it happened to someone else, you should laugh if it happens to you.

2)  My girlfriend’s husband has been working tons of overtime with his job right now.  This weekend, he called her by his boss’s name (another woman).  What could have been a huge fight turned into a laughing fest… with the realization that he needed to cut back on his hours and that they could pay a little less on their bills each month.

These are just a couple of examples.  Nothing major, yet I’ve seen friendships, relationships, families, torn apart from simple misunderstanding.  When you mis-speak or do something you later regret, apologize and don’t do it again.  If you’re hurt by something someone else said or did… communicate and/or ask yourself, have I ever done anything similar?

Without adversity everyone once in a while we don’t rise to the next level!  Appreciate the stupid things you and others do for the humor they bring.
