Some days you get a coffee shop all to yourself…and all’s right in the world.

This has been the week of the funniest conversations I have ever been a part of. My co-workers and friends keep me entertained very well. I honestly wish my life was a reality TV show, not to watch me, but to listen to them. Here’s an example. I work for a Breast Cancer Center. As the name would suggest we deal primarily with breast cancer, although if the patient has metastatic disease to other areas, we treat them concurrently. Today my co-worker Christina comes barreling around the corner, with her hands waving frantically in the air, at the top her lungs she yells, “I need to find pictures of breasts!” An IT personnel was sitting at my desk at the time working on my computer, clearly this is not a conversation that he is use to, he looks up at her with both shock and amusement and says, “Have you tried the internet?” I almost passed put from laughing. I have laughed a lot this week, the funny thing is that this has been a really stressful week personally. It hit me as I sat reflecting, that God has been graciously and lovingly allowing these moments of hysterical laughter to interject the madness. Yesterday was a particularly non-stellar day, but yet another Christina lead conversation made me smile (well first it made me confused, then it made me smile):

Christina: It was such a beautiful day I decided to walk home.

Me: From where?

Christina: Publix.     (For those of you from the North, Publix is a supermarket…ONLY)

Stacy: You left your car at Publix?

Christina: No, I went to get my feet done.

Me:???? (stares blankly at reply)

Singh: You get your feet done (pedicure) at Publix? Does this Publix also do landscaping?

Life can be difficult, the journey can get overwhelming. But God is gracious to gift us laughter. Don’t wallow in the “bad”, find the moments of “funny”, it will help you to see that the “bad”, is not so bad (I am trying to figure out that last sentence, too. 🙂 ).

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting” (Job 8:21).

So what am I thankful for today? Really funny friends.
