Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

When I was growing up girls were mean to me and I used to cry everynight. My father always knew just what to say when I was sad. ~Peace~

~Don't Sweat The Small Stuff~ 

 These five words I try to live by…

Some people can still make me cry

They aren’t life threatening so why?

Why do we always let gossip get to us?

Feel beat up like we’ve been hit by a bus

The extra garbage is really only affecting us

Life is too short to let all the drama overwhelm our mind

If we let things consume us we will be unhappy all the time

Don’t sweat the small stuff; five words I try to live by...…

I think we're all sensitive and fragile at our core. Hard to develop a thick skin; but this we must. Great advice.

I am sure we have all learned that we cannot make everyone happy and we cannot make everyone love us...therefore, it is logical that we should not even try while against insurmountable odds. Great write.

"Don’t sweat the small stuff." Words to live by, Chessly. And the older I get -- and lately I've gotten pretty old -- but the older I get, the more I also try to live by those five words, especially with my special lady friend. So much is so little, so I truly try not to sweat the little stuff.
Your friend, Mark
