We all have days when it feels like nothing is going our way. Everything that we try to do is interrupted by something unexpected or whatever we are trying to accomplish just doesn’t turn out like we thought it would. Those days can range anywhere from amusing to extremely frustrating.
I’ve been having “one of those days,” except it’s lasted for several days. Severe thunderstorms have knocked out our power for two days in a row, and that’s just the beginning! Appointments have been canceled and rescheduled, the yard and gardens are a mess, and I feel like I’ll never have the chance to catch up on everything.
It’s on days like this that I need something to help me smile and remind me that none of this is that big of a deal. I just need to take a deep breath, step back, and remember that sometimes life is difficult, but I really don’t have it that bad. In fact, I’m pretty lucky!
The video below is just the kind of laugh that I needed today, considering that I have some tree clean-up to deal with in the very near future. Now, tree removal is a tricky business and is often better left up to the professionals. Bringing down a big tree yourself can be dangerous if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing.
I know a neighbor tried getting the job done on his own, unfortunately, the tree fell right on top of two of his kids’ bikes (they were parked nearby as the kids went inside to grab a quick snack). The tree sure came down, but they lost two bikes in the process. It gave them something to laugh about eventually. They also learned the lesson to call for professional help!
I was surprised when I saw this man with his truck tied to a tree, ready to hit the gas and bring the huge stump down. I was certain it would fall right on his shiny new truck! The other thought I had was that the tree won’t move at all (as I’m sure everyone else is thinking right now) and that his back bumper would fall right off as he hits the race. Well, you’ll be surprised at what is about to go down because what happened gave me a big laugh and reminded me that I have a lot to smile about.
