find the funny

I've been accused of a lot of things, some of them are true. I won't say how many. That's not the point. Of the things I've been accused of, being too silly, or not taking things seriously enough is probably the most common. But here's the thing - I'd rather be able to find the funny in a situation than only see the negative.

So, your vehicle died and you have to walk to work - bright side: You're now "green" and helping the environment. So, your British based Petrolium company has an oil spill that is causing catastrophic damage to the gulf coast - bright side: They say there's no such thing as bad publicity! So, you were beat as a child - bright side: you know how to take a punch. You get the point.

Everybody has a backstory, and everybody has scars from the past, or fresh wounds from the present, but hey, chicks dig scars, right? Do guys dig scars? I'm going to tell myself they do. I have a lot of scars on my knees, and I've never had a guy say, "You know I like you a lot, but those scars on your knees are a deal breaker".

I'm not saying I never pout or get angry about the things that go wrong, but I also tell myself that I'm one of those women who "looks sexy when I'm angry" so, it all works out.

Bottom line, I like to find the funny. There's lots of ups and downs in life, but if you'll just throw your hands in the air and scream on the downs, you'll find it's a lot like a thriller roller coaster.
