It’s been a challenging week.

I won’t go into details. And while I’m fine, not everyone around me is. Sometimes life just sucks.

Some of you were even kind enough to notice I haven’t been around here much having fun.

And it got me thinking a bit about a part I’m writing for the intro in my book - about the value of humour, even in the darker times - or especially in the darker times - as an emotional outlet.

Because at any given time 1 in 32 people is having a challenging week (Statsistics Canada). It may be due to health or work issues, personal or home life, or limited choices on Netflix.

Whatever the reason, look to your left, now look to your right. It’s likely that neither of those people is having a challenging week because it’s only 1 in 32. Still, it’s not nothing.

The thing about being the one having a challenging week is that you sort of become untouchable for a bit. It’s not without limits of course - you can’t be a complete jackass. But you can get away with stuff a bit more than normal.

For example, if I wanted to, I could say something like “Kace, come on!” (but in a funny, humorous way) And Kace would have to be like “Sheesh, not much I can do about that. He’s having a challenging week. And anyway, it wasn’t that bad what he said.”

See what I mean? It’s fun, and gets a little emotion out there.

So if you’re having a challenging week, like the 1 in 32 of us are, don’t be afraid to crack a joke, mix it up a bit, maybe push a boundary even (probably not with Dani she’ll cut you). Because a little humour might just be the medicine you need to get by.

Follow for more.

Thanks for the reminder Mark! I had a pretty good week but today ended on a challenging note. Everyone is ok. Still, it was a very sucky ending to a good week. Take care of yourself and yes humour is still the best medicine in challenging times.

I only ever met one person who said that nothing bad had ever happened in their life.

I just laugh, even better if I can make another smile.

I hope you can smile inside as well.

Hey, I’m glad you’re fine and sorry that you’re in the midst of others’ challenges… and if you care about them, then you’re holding a bit of it, even if “fine”…. Be well if and how you can, and laugh or cry or sometimes both at the same time. All good!!
