Skid marks on our knees

In my previous post I was talking about laughter and how important it is to be able to laugh at things instead of going around life all grumpy and mad at the world. Well, today after the snow melted I went outside to fix the Christmas decorations that had blown down. Cautiously I stepped off the stairs so I wouldn't slip on any ice that may have still been there. Successfully I got off the stairs and took two steps and slipped in the mud and landed on my knees and bottom.

With my bone cancer heavily overtaking my bones in my pelvis, hip, and spine area it wasn't something I could laugh at that I fell. Perhaps I can't laugh at the skid marks on my knees but I don't need to sit around either and feel sorry for myself that I could have seriously been hurt or dwell on the fact that I dirtied my church pants and shoes.

To get stuck on the negative really can bring a person's spirit down. There are things in life that are extremely negative but we just can't allow ourselves to stay there on those moments in life so long that we bring ourselves down on a permanent basis.
