The Faucet is leaking, we walk out of the house with mismatched socks, we run out of milk,we're low on gas, the yard needs picking up, we forget to thaw some meat for dinner-----these sorts of trivial issues can pile up to ruin a day.
But only if we let them.
We can't think big thoughts all the time, but we can keep the little things in perspective and not let their sheer numbers overwhelm us.
I'm going to take a deep breath------maybe even two or three deep breaths----and remind myself that as annoying as the minor problems of everyday life are, I'm not going to fret about them.
One resolution I have made, and will try to always keep is this, To rise above the "little" things!
When our lives are difficult , we feel as if things will never change. This in turn, makes it harder for us to take the steps that might create the change we want.
when I look back on my life I can see that I have had good and bad times. Somehow I survived the bad times, and eventually things got better. The passage of time helped, but
I also acted in ways that moved me in a better place.
My life is filled with ups and downs. If today is a bad day---or this week is a bad week---- I Know it's not forever and that I will come through it!
