sweating

whoever came up with that saying don't sweat the small stuff is in the rankings with the first one to slice bread. sure makes things a lot easier. who cares about lost blog entries or missing black socks? really, almost everything is small stuff. the only sweat i'm getting lately is from the rising temperatures. and even that's no major deal. if the check doesn't come today, hell, it'll be there eventually. of course you can still give a merry "hey motherfucker" yell to the guy who cuts you off in traffic...but that's really only out of habit. he didn't hit you. get over it. keep driving. and what if...well, if someone dies, you'll miss them, but that's really all it's about. they're wherever they go when people die, not feeling any distress from this world. miss em for a while. hang onto the good memories. throw the shitty ones in the trash and move on. and for those who think their lives are worthless, shut up about it. do something fun. go outside.. get your head outta the dark cave it's in, and realize that it's nothing but a thing, and do something to improve your circumstances. appreciate the silver lining and quit looking for the silver platter. you gotta make it happen yourself. complaining gets nothing accomplished, if you think about it. that "don't worry be happy" song used to piss me off...I don't know if I'm quite there yet, but I get the big picture... not only that it's a small song. don't sweat any small things

Glad to see that you made it out from the darkness, but how long did you wallow in that other life? Hopefully, not too long. Cracked up at the NASCAR chick line. I remember being in junior high & hearing an interview with David Lee Roth and he said he had two simple rules in life:
1. Don't sweat the little stuff.
2. It's ALL little stuff.
Wanting to be cool like him (back in the late 70s / early 80s I remember taking those words to heart. They do make for a nice lifestyle. Good luck with it.
