I find that humor helps in healing. Even a little dash of gallows humor works for me when things are looking bad. I can’t help myself and luckily for me, my family understands how I function when the chips are down. I try to find the best in the situation and a little giggle often works wonders.
So when I joined a Facebook group in hopes of getting some insight into an upcoming surgery I have scheduled, I came upon a woman who, like me, had endured many surgeries over the years. While mine were more centered with cancer, hers were more heart-centered. But the commonality remained and we began writing back and forth.
When the subject of how long she’d been enduring these hard surgeries and how she’d almost died more than once, her laughing response has remained with me.
Heaven doesn’t want me yet and hell’s afraid I’m going to take over…
Even now, every time I think of her quote, I smile and I am inspired to overcome this health challenge that I currently am experiencing. I want to be the person who can laughingly repeat the above quote in order to inspire someone else.
Isn’t that the best part about connecting with people? To inspire them? To be inspired by them? To share and to leap frog our way to ascension? At least that’s how I look at it.
How about you?
