Small stuff

I have a really good friend, Darlene, that I miss all the time. Years ago she gave me a magnet that has been on my refrigerator for so long that sometimes I don't even see it anymore.

But then when I see it again I just smile.  It says:

Surrender to the fact that life isn't fair.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

This makes me smile because it had a special meaning that only her and I got,

and we could giggle together about.

Now I look at this magnet and tho I am smiling and feeling close to my friend, I can see the words in a different meaning. No, life is not fair, but life is life. And thinking about the fact that you can't sweat the small stuff and knowing that I have accepted this concept makes me see how much my family and I have healed. I am thankful for the fact that as I write on my blog, I can feel healing. I can see that maybe by the fact that I seem to write less often is also a healing thought.
