My Destiny
As I approach the end of my 37th year, I have had an epiphany. I finally realize my true calling. I exist to give people something to laugh at.
Don’t mistake this for a pity party. I’m pretty excited actually. I have slowly come to grips with my ability to make a fool out of myself.
My moment of clarity came 10 days ago when I fell down Federal Hill in Baltimore.
I didn’t actually fall as much as I careened down the top slope of the downtown landmark. Somehow, I got it in my head that I could race a friend to the bottom.
Luckily, she realized the folly of that idea and had a wonderful view from the top as I hurtled out of control to my fate.
Did I mention that all this took place during a department retreat for work and the friends witnessing this exhibition were my co-workers? I sure know how to spice up the day.
