I decided to start a joke discussion because we as caregivers need our load lightened. We need to laugh at our own situations and those of others to take away the sting and pain we go through. If you have a joke that's racy then give a heads up at the beginning of your post for those who might not want to read your post. We need to avoid that kind of humor. Please don't come on this thread and berate anyone for their choices of humor. This is our place to let go of criticism. Thanks for sharing!!!! ;o)
Once, I gave the wrong directions to a older woman and her 2 young grandkids. They were walking to a park that was several blocks away. After 10 minutes or so, I realized my mistake. I drove towards the wrong direction which I showed them, and luckily found them walking haplessly in the opposite direction of the park. I pulled up, told them what happened and offered to drive them to the park. Phew! I was so glad I could fix that mistake.
Another time, an older man driving from out of town asked me for directions. He was not so fortunate. I sometimes wonder what happened to him, whether he swore at me later on for telling him to go straight and eventually run into the street he was looking for which happened to run parallel to street I told him to stay on.
I don’t give directions anymore. 😀
Wise words, I’ll try to live up to that:
:) "Don't give others the power to control your emotions. Those are only yours and it is only for you to manipulate."
I need to do a thing.
Body:
You did a thing yesterday, that’s enough things.
1) Doctor
2) Engineer
3) MBA
4) Disgrace to the family
—Me, in the middle of Tuesday
—Wow, I have a lot of opportunities.
