You know the daily grind. Maybe the car sounds sick and your budget can’t stretch. Or maybe the kids are sick—on the day of your big meeting. Maybe traffic is like driving in mud and you need to get to that appointment. Maybe your food order got lost or a now -former friend just blasted you on social media.
These are the sorts of things that can steal away our hope for the day. But we can turn our day around. We can decide if the wrong thing sends us into the pits of doom or if we can send that wrong thing into the a holding tank to become a story.
As I’ve told my kids more than once, “Either this is going to work out or we’ll have a great story to tell later.”
Humor helps us find hope in the daily grind because it turns the wrong thing into something that we can laugh at.
Maybe my stories will make you chuckle and help you look at troubles differently. Because, sometimes, things aren’t as bad as they seem. They’re just on their way to becoming a great story.
