I recently spent time in the friendly skies, thanks to Southwest Airlines.
It was the first time in a long while that I’ve flown anywhere. My travels have all been by car. I am an easy traveler and don’t mind flying.
Having not flown much, however, I found it fun to observe people in route and at the airports. A few minutes ago the flight crew gave their “not so typical” Southwest Air version of the in flight safety instructions. I had forgotten how creative they can be.
It reminded me that even during the most stressful and tedious situations which test our patience and tolerance, there is room for laughter and lightness.
I found myself taking a deep breath and relaxing after the flight attendant spoke and received her round of applause.
My favorite joke she told?
“There is a $2000 fine for smoking in the bathrooms and if you could afford that you’d be flying Delta, so just don’t smoke!”
Even though what each of us find humorous is different, and the timing and use of humor is an art, it pays to practice seeing the lighter side of life.
PARTICULARLY during menopause!
This week when things get out of hand and you feel yourself spinning out of control and not on your “A game”, see if you can remember this blog post and add some humor and laughter to the situation.
Or just pretend you’re a Southwest Airlines employee.
How could you spin what you’re going through to get you to relax and put a smile on your face?
From the funny skies, until next time
