Be Happy and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Unfortunately, we can't control what other folks do. We are going to come across rude and inconsiderate people throughout of lives. We are also going to receive some bad news once in a while and have some bad experiences.

The trick is for the happy/positive experiences to outweigh the bad/negative. Here's an example. Rich and I volunteered for a fundraising event on Saturday. 98% of the people were nice and extremely kind making generous donations. There were a few grumpy people who decided they need someone to complain to and that someone was me. I chose to focus on the 98% who had cheerful attitudes and open hearts.

Hi Will, I'm trying to get my blogging mojo back on track. 

Grant, it's always there, and sometimes we really have to look for it! I had a bad experience this morning at the store, so I focused on the fact that I was shopping for the Senior Center and I felt better about the matter.

Kathleen Daniels ~I'm suffering from swollen feet, ankles and calves and have been for several weeks. The only thing that seems to help is keeping the elevated. I'm doing my best to remind myself that it's temporary and we'll find a solution...and oh by the way, I'm home and not in the dang hospital! See postive!! OK, I'm working on it!

Sorry to hear that Chris Ann. Sometimes as much as we try to avoid it, it still finds us!
