I like your questions, Oliver. What a nice guy you are (makes a change on this site, that's for sure).
Not long ago I read a book called "Don't sweat the small stuff" by some American guy. And it really did change my outlook. He pointed out that, when you think about it, "it's all small stuff". I'm not usually swayed by books like this (esp. US ones - lol) but I liked the sentiment of this one.
My family and I have our health, food in the cupboard and a roof over our heads. Everything else is details - and stressing never makes the slightest bit of difference. So why bother.
(And you're looking damn fine, yourself, if you don't mind my saying!!)

This is a very good question to ask... I personally have decided to not worry about things I have no control over. I used to worry about everything, but found that certain things I stressed about wasn't needed. I am learning to be happy with me and to make the best out of each day I'm allowed to see. If I'm not truly happy with myself, then nothing in my life will work out. No matter how hard I work at it!

i will think of of no longer something that i could kill for yet many things could be properly worth loss of life for. You point out poverty... that's obvious there is to little love in the international whilst one million/3 of the inhabitants has an obesity concern and one million/3 are ravenous to loss of life. i could be keen to die this very 2d if it may convey greater love into the human equation... i'm no longer considerable adequate for one among those sacrifice to intend something. that's why Jesus got here and died, yet for all his smart teachings it may look that love attracts ever less warm even between people who declare to stay with him. could God bless you, as you look a student of peace.... Blessed Be!

Thanks for the compliment, feeling lovely today. My day was made more beautiful by your question and message, hope you have a lovely weekend.

Trying to do EVERYTHING today. Instead, spending time with those whose company enhances me.
After getting some distance from a very busy and stressful year, I am so lucky to be able to look back and appreciate those who supported me! How about you???
Have a beautiful day yourself, handsome!

I've made up my mind not to let a certain co-worker's comments about my work performance bother me. Ditto, those of my former spouse. I don't stress if all my housework doesn't get done. I'm even improving at not unduly worrying or taking it personally if my favorite guy doesn't keep in touch as much as I'd like.

I have stopped stressing about my laugh lines b/c they show that I've enjoyed my life, the bad and the good.
