I have found that the little things we complain about are not really worth the breath we use to do it with. What happens?......we complain, get ourselves all worked up (raise the blood pressure.....making things worse) and what we are complaining about is still there. So we tend to do more harm to ourselves then it seems.

I am not saying this is the case for everything. Some things do need attention, but we harm ourselves getting upset.

Has anyone read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff".? Fantastic book. I gave it to my son when he felt that the world was coming down on him. I don't think he read it, but I tried to explain to him that you can't make a big thing out of something so small.

I am thankful each day that I get out of bed. It is all in the way you look a things.
