I've noticed myself becoming more annoyed than normal with the incessant whining about how bad things are for certain people all. the. time....how everything is life ending or changing for them.
I know my perspective has changed in the past couple of months. I know that I would get bogged down with the things I thought were so important at the time, but looking back, they were just annoying little mishaps or speed bumps in life. I hope I never allow myself to make the little big again. They really don't matter all that much.
I'm not trying to belittle life's problems, but having a cold, or flat tire or having to work while your favorite team plays football aren't devastating...they're inconvenient. Those are the things I'd allow myself to make a bigger deal than they are and it wasn't worth it.
Right now, I'm experiencing life changing on many fronts. I just pray that they are life changing and not life ending for all involved. Only God knows the answer to that right now...I hope His plans match up to what I want them to be. I understand that is selfish to say, but I don't want to imagine life any other way.
I can't.
Don't sweat the small stuff. It sounds so simple, but it's so true.
Lesson learned. Hopefully that's something I will keep with me forever.

I hope everything gets better for you!
so true and a great reminder for everyone! sending you hugs and hoping that things get easier, better, change for the good soon.
This is such a big life lesson, and also a really hard one to follow. I work on this one daily because there are moments when I get frustrated and I force myself to take a step back and laugh.
Something we need to remind ourselves every single day. You and your family are in my prayers <3
