Enjoying the Ride

My sister emailed me a few photos of my other niece Ellie, who loves wearing her 'Gangsta' Halloween costume around the house. Ellie and I spoke on the phone and she kept mentioning the gold tooth she gets to wear.

My sister commented, "Not the most feminine..... And I'm not letting her wear the tooth right now."

For some reason this reminded me of a friend in California who enjoyed wearing mullets and 'hillbilly teeth' to trade shows. (A key part of his sales strategy when he talked to buyers!)

Another friend of mine in California (who is a wife, and a mom, and a sales director at a well known national magazine) still enjoys making phoney phone calls, and 'keeps that lovin' feeling alive' with her husband by frequently hiding sex toys in his briefcase.

The thing is, whether you're the 1% or the 99%, life isn't fair, has its share of ups and downs, and certainly can be painful and difficult.

Prioritizing laughter and having fun - every day - is an essential component of enjoying the ride, where ever you are.

Happy Friday everyone.
