My dad gave me a reminding piece of advice this week as the stress levels at my home rise, "Do not borrow trouble and why worry about it if you cannot change it." ~ something my grandmother shared on a regular basis. This is especially true in light of present situations. With you I share a few reminders.
- Just because you can research every nuance of something does not mean that you should. Stay away from drug company commercials, all medical symptom diagnosis sites, and the crazy spiral of research that can happen on the internet. It isn't safe, it isn't healthy, and by the time that you are done, you will have cancer of varying organs, lupus (though House says it's never lupus), an infection, and a rare disease only found in third world countries with a side effect of death. Don't do it; it's not worth it.
- Just because you are invited into an argument does not mean that you have to participate.
- Just because you have reason to be all "doom and gloom" does not mean you have to chose to be. You are the one who alters the way you feel, who you allow to affect those feelings, and how you chose to deal with your situations. Always work to find the positives even in the darkest of times.
- Just because you are an adult does not mean you have to put away all childish things; revel in the small things, enjoy the time that you have, and do something that makes you feel like a kid!
