Was going to write a caption, then got stymied at

Was going to write a caption, then got stymied at how to correctly pluralize butler’s pantry. Anyhow, they’re a culinary fantasy, and pave the way for clear kitchen counters they do, indeed. Help me out with the grammar in the comments below, though. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Started from the bottom matching socks as a child

Started from the bottom matching socks as a child for fun…now we’re here doing the very same thing.

Beyond thoughts of career and relationship obligat

Beyond thoughts of career and relationship obligations, self consciousness, and anxiety, there is an instinctual knowing of what is and is not right for you.

This natural feeling response is your intuition, and its operation is delightfully simple: it excites or shuts down in the presence or prospect of circumstances, people, and opportunities.

Intuition is not dependent on conditioning. It lacks sound reasoning or logic. It just is. Excitement or dread. Curious or loathing. Open or closed. Full of solutions or full of excuses. You instantly recognize what you are naturally drawn to, and what isn’t in alignment with you.

You don’t have to do any special woo-woo ceremony to get in touch with your intuition. Yours is not any more or less powerful than anyone else’s. But you do have to work on silencing the fear-driven part of your brain that always shouts the loudest.

If your life is about living in fear of what others will think of you or living in fear of lack and you do not work to counteract those influences, you likely will struggle to hear your intuition. Your own feelings will be easily squashed by your duty-bound, logical brain every time.

What’s needed is to remove the clutter from your own mind that’s accumulated as a result of growing up, socialization, and separation from who you were when you first arrived here. Before you were petrified of everything. Before you worried so much about public perception.

Clear out all that old energy, and you’ll find that being in touch with your feelings–with your intuition–becomes a whole hell of a lot easier.

They say non-attachment is a sign of the enlighten

They say non-attachment is a sign of the enlightened. And non-judgment. If those are, a sense of humor must be, too.

Life is absurd. There’s really no better way to refer to a reality where the concern about cellulite can coexist with cultural warfare, famine with frenemies, and genocide with “gubernatorial” (an undeniably funny sounding word).

On the days when life events seem irredeemable and unfair, humor is how the wise rise above.

The hardship you’re facing is likely filled with irony. The employee at the tile shop whose brainlessness causes you and your partner to launch into a full on, uncharacteristic domestic may be an SNL character IRL. Your dad’s fit about the printer not connecting to his computer may be a comedy sketch waiting to be written. Even your grieving brings with it priceless moments of hilarity…if we want to laugh, we will never seem to lack material at which to laugh.

We can keep perspective by laughing at whatever happens. Or we can weep.

A healthy person allows herself to do both, certainly, but she chooses to see the humor more.

Humor buoys us through the distress. It is the metaphorical throwing one’s hands up in the air, doing away with any attempt to control the uncontrollable, and laughing at the notion that you are a blip in the billions of years of existence of the universe.

From that perspective, most circumstances are benign. Actually, they’re probably hilarious.

It is no accident that the people who suffer the greatest hardships are often the ones most prone to laughing. They know the healing power of humor, how it makes the not-being-able-to-make-sense-of-things okay and tempers the hurt.

It’s like that meme of a dog sitting in a house that’s ensconced in flames, who is captioned as saying, “This is fine.”
.
When there’s nothing more for you to do; when you can’t change how hard circumstances are; when your plan backfires; when you’re sputtering words through your tears like a crazy person, humor is always there for you. It’s the bolt of lightning that cut through the darkness and reminds you that at least in this moment, everything truly is fine. Fine enough to survive.
