Writing prompt # 3 – Nearest funny fix

Many months ago, Altoid in her Writing Prompt # 3 request readers to take up this prompt. For the rules, go here.

Life throws the good, bad and ugly at you on a daily basis. During most of these times, the best way to make things easy on yourself is the ability to laugh. There is a reason for the laughter therapy & laughter being the best medicine. But to be able to have the ability to laugh at the most difficult situations or to be able to spend a few minutes each evening laughing, to relax from a stressful day, you either need to be born a comedian or have someone to enrich your lives with their presence and their sense of humor and comic timing.

Since I fall under the latter category as most of you have probably guessed from the nature of my posts, I am left to rely on others to bring humor into my daily life. I am indeed extremely fortunate to have such a person in my life, who also happens to be one of my BFF. I often joke to her how amazing it is that all funny things happen when she is around. All the clowns and crazy people that exist around us find their way into her life.

My day starts with chatting with her as I drive in to work and ends chatting with her on my way back from work. Most of the things we talk about are probably funny only to us but nevertheless, it makes up for some fun memories and good laughter. She has the uncanny knack of attracting the wierdest of people out in the world to bring laughter to our lives. We plan trips together, spend weekend nights chatting and giggling over completely silly and trivial incidents. Every little event in our lives is fair game.

When something is bothering the mind either from work or from a personal front, I can always count on her to make my day feel better. She always has the funniest anecdotes to narrate and can effortlessly bring cheer into my dull and boring day. My family often joke to me that when none of them know where I am, all they need to do is call this friend

Her mom is convinced that for me to be her best friend means that I definitely don’t fall under the “normal” category I wonder if that is really true but if being her friend means being slightly “abnormal”, I will take that anyday over not having her in my life. In hindsight, I realize that it is not her that attracts all the weird people around us, but it is her ability to find humor in the most mundane situations and everyday events.

I truly wish every single individual who is not born funny is blessed with one of her in their lives. She truly helps me accept the good and the bad life throws at me and face it with a smile each day of my life. Thanks Yo for being who you are and bringing that smile to my face each and every day.

This prompt had you written all over it and I promised myself I would take this up and write about you!!
