F.U.N.N.Y

Funny. 

Sometimes I just want to laugh

or cry 

or do both

or...

I like smiling 

and being content.

sometimes I cry over sad things

sometimes I cry over happy things

sometimes I cry because of spiritual things

but... I cry

and I laugh

and sometimes... I do both.

This weekend in the midst of stress

and life changes

new callings

saying "hello"

and "goodbye"

and trying to (again) learn how to have more faith

and realizing I have 4 + huge papers 

that aren't quite finished... or started...

I laughed...

and cried...

I did both.

and... it was funny

and sad

and therapeutic

and ridiculous

but still... it was me--

crying and laughing

at the same time. 

I hope that as I take on the world...

one step at a time...

walking into the darkness...

walking by faith

that as I cry...

I can laugh too.

Because, although sometimes I hurt

genuinely, deep down hurt...

there is always something 

to make me smile...

and laugh.

So don't be afraid to laugh...

and cry...

at the same time.

or to even cry so hard

you can't help but laugh

once the tears are all gone

and you have nothing left to do

but keep walking- 

by faith.
