That Little Thing

I had 30 minutes in between meetings this morning. Ran to DD for a coffee and a donut. The last 24 hours has been one little thing after another. And that got me thinking…

You think it’s the big things that will take you down. It’s not. It is always something so small, so innocuous, that you never see it coming. But here it is.

Problems and stress, and every other thing under the fucking sun. Life has been beating you up for a while, but you have held your own. But this one last thing. This tiny little thing. It literally puts you over the edge.

When is enough, enough? You don’t get a say. Life does. Or does it? Of course you do. But we don’t realize it. Especially when life is kicking our ass. Let it go. Stop trying to force an outcome. Some things just are. Learn to be okay with that.

We are built for the big things. The little things take us down. It is like a splinter that you just can’t get out. It just keeps annoying you. It is not a big deal… but if you hit it the wrong way. Mother Fucker!

All I am saying is…don’t sweat the small stuff. It happens every day. But on top of the big things, it feels like the last straw. {Time to order more straws.} Just kidding. Not everything needs a reaction. And it certainly doesn’t need an overreaction.

The little things…yeah, that’s just life. Don’t let it be bigger than it is. Stop trying to calm the storm. The more you fight it, the more you are focusing on it. So, take a deep breath. That little thing, or a big thing. Ain’t nothing but a thing.
