Today’s Thought: It’s Still Okay Even if it’s Not Perfect

Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out – it’s the grain of sand in your shoe. ~ Robert W. Service

NOTE: I have a neighbor who gets wound up tight over small annoyances. She seldom smiles. Weeds in her lawn bother her. A dog’s barking bothers her. Kids playing their music too loud bother her. Then there are the community rules and regulations that others sometimes ignore, this bothers her. She has a lot on her plate. Our world isn’t perfect. People are not perfect. Dogs are going to poop on your lawn. If we don’t learn to roll with the annoyances in our lives we create our own unhappiness. When we see ourselves and our lives as imperfect it helps us to accept and maybe enjoy other imperfections into our life.
