Universe Has A Sense Of Humor

During this busy season, when you take it upon yourself to tackle the cookie baking ritual. I wish you well. Some of us will just have cookie magic and everything will go smooth sailing. Others of us will be busy amusing the Universe. No one could imagine that a manual spritz cookie cutter could be the challenge from hell.

There is always a learning curve with baking. It's almost like a right of passage. Some of us always do it smoothly. I am not one of those people. You'll be questioning whether you should put the dough in the frig before putting it in the spritzer. Is the shape cutter in the canister correctly? Are the canister ends screwed on correctly?

Baking is supposed to be relaxing! Not for everyone, sometimes all the little stupid things will trip you up in the kitchen. Things will become stuck together and you will try to problem solve; on how to loosen the ends of the canister without destroying it. Sometimes you will find new uses for Christmas songs as you start to bang the canister in time to the music on the counter, while trying to loosen it. When you've previously tried all other solutions. While release frustration banging the canister on the counter in time to the music. It suddenly starts to unscrew becoming unstuck.

Lesson learned, goal successfully accomplished! Laughing at yourself as all the frustration eases. Your guides and angels watch you with no judgment as you try to conquer your problems. During this holiday season. I wish you all well with the baking season.

Bear Traps

Whenever I encounter jerks. I just let them talk. I know it won't take long for them to open their mouths and insert both feet. Sometimes their family members or co-workers. No matter who they are they usually succeed in showing they're ignorance. Their attempt to one-up you usually results in having egg all over their face. When the train wreck is over I just smile : ) They have succeeded at doing to themselves what they were trying to do to you. The Universe has such a sick sense of humor. Just but sick!

Passions

I am finding that as time goes by you acquire more and more passions. They start out as a taste here and there before you know it they have taken root as strong opinions. I've worked in many industries. I have since learned from those experiences.

Fashion will slowly creep into that category, but if you work in it for a while you will suddenly find that those shoes that you would have normally just liked. Now you must have them and all reason starts to go out the window. Same with clothes.

Here's the really weird part. Once your not part of that industry, you suddenly become a sane rational person again. You can walk by them and not obsessed with them. It's really funny how we can rationalize some of these things when we're surrounded by them. I think, I've had the most amazing experiences. Some I'm glad are done. Some were growth experiences.

Then we have our friends. Some are DRAMA all over the place, and others are vanilla they are always at status quo. Then you have the quirky person in your life they either look at life as having a sense of humor. You might even have that fiesty person in your life who stands up for themself and is not a door mat.

Whatever your passions may be people, causes, give them a great big hug and embrace what makes you stand out. After all this is YOU!
