Do You Need Some Laughing Gas?

Sometimes you have to shake your head. Today, I went to the gas station to fill up with gas as there were talks on the radio that gas was going up in price. Here in Canada gas is 100.9. The particular gas station I was at gives an additional 5 cents off the posted price on Mondays and Thursdays. Today was my lucky day. 5 cent savings per litre. While the gas was being pumped into my silver bullet of a vehicle, a gentleman was climbing a ladder changing the price to 101.9. Yes one cent more. Two vehicles drove away. The attendant was telling me that people were getting upset because gas was going up by one cent and they must drive to get a better deal. The next gas station was 100.9. However, let's do the math. Take 5 cents off per litre or drive to the next gas station (burn more gas) and pay regular price. All I could do was laugh and so did the attendant. One cent. Perhaps they did not read the sign about 5 cents off. Well, by the end of the day gas went up to 109 cents per litre.

Are you getting stressed over the little things? Maybe you need some laughing gas?

Try some of these things:

• blow up a balloon and let it go
• laugh with your belly
• watch a comedy
• people watch for 30 minutes in a food court
• blow bubbles with bubble gum (when was the last time you did that?)
• give an extra 1% effort in all that you do and watch what happens (Laugh as you reap all the rewards of 1% extra effort- You will surprise yourself)

The one cent lesson is worth more than the 2 cents I share. Review your day today. Did you laugh? Did you find the humor in how life works? Please share it with us.
