I have been recently told by 3 different people that my mother and I share a gift; a gift of humor! We have been told how our gift of humor helps other people. I know that laughter is the best medicine and so I laugh as much as possible. My being able to tell my life experiences with flair is part of our humor. Flair is in the way we tell our story. I think we are able to do this because we were both teachers. Teachers are onstage all day keeping students interested in things that can be very boring or fun depending on how it is presented. I am thankful for this gift. It helps me get through the hardest parts of my life. I was recently laughing with my friend Kari that it has been voiced to me that I am someone that can talk to the youth and help them get through some of the rough times. Of course I had to make this into a funny. I explained to Kari that I can teach them how I use to cut and was really good at hiding it! I can tell them how I wondered off the path to my Savior! I can let them in on my anxiety and panic attacks! I am sure their parents would run to me and thank me enthusiastically!!! I am sure they would ask me to come again and again!!! LOL I could also tell them how I am learning to use tools to keep from cutting, and manage my anxiety, etc. I can tell them how I found my way back to the path to my Savior! Let them know how it is so important to be KIND, and LOVING to people. KINDNESS can change the world! KINDNESS is what the Savior thought us to do! Forgive people and especially yourself as quickly as you can. Learn to laugh with yourself and others! Learn to laugh and find enjoyment in everything that they can! As soon as my family has open their Christmas presents I can't wait to tell you what they are... I hope you will get as big as a laugh at is as I did!!!
