Laughing at myself

Last night I was working one of my last shifts at Macey's (the grocery store). I have worked in the dairy department since the beginning of this year. As the night winds down we do something called shrink. Shrink is the scanning of all product that is either expired or damaged and then throwing it all away (it's a shame how much "bad" food gets thrown away). While I was scanning the damaged products, I found yogurts that had blown up over everything, cinnamon rolls with the icing hard and sticky and everything around it. Each time I touched a gross thing I just laughed a little. Then I was throwing away everything and it became the time for 5 two pound containers of strawberry yogurt to go. I throw them in the garbage compactor (nicknamed the "yum"). And by them I mean all but one. One of these containers found away to break open and cover my entire right side. I laughed so hard. And finally, I was walking in the parking lot towards my truck when I thought about the earth. I thought about how beautiful it is but also how beautiful heaven will be. And while picking up a piece of garbage I thought to myself, "This world isn't exactly the prettiest thing on earth." I burst out in laughter, I thought it was so funny! I looked up and hoped that Heavenly Father thought it was as funny as I did. 

That's it. I hope to keep laughing at life. It makes everyday even better. And faith. Faith makes everything better and it builds strong bones.
