Right now I need to hear somebody say “it’s all going to be OK“, I need to hear “stop sweating the small stuff“. Because that’s what it is, it is small stuff! Stuff that I feel shouldn’t let get me down, stuff I should just let go of. I feel silly to be worried about these little issues, I mean in the scheme of life they don’t matter, they are not important. My children are healthy, I am so grateful for that! I think of my cousin and his beautiful wife and their amazing daughters and I feel so selfish for worrying about my pathetic issues whilst this amazing girl fights the battle for her life! I think of homeless people, sick people, people suffering great loss and abuse and who am I to be feeling like crap?

I know life doesn’t work like that though, I know that just because our problems are so much less or smaller than others it doesn’t allow us to shut off our ‘worry button‘. As a parent my worry button is usually pretty switched on! My worries over the past week have not been serious or life threatening, but still I have found myself so stressed out. Do you get like this over small stuff? 

A friend advised me earlier this week to take 5 deep breaths. She told me it will all sort its self out soon. She is right, it will. I guess I have just felt useless, like the things that are getting me down are things I have no control over, I can’t fix them, I can’t hurry them along, I have to be patient, and like my friend said they will sort themselves out soon. Thanks Sue!

I am frustrated that I feel this way, and I know a few of these things on there own wouldn’t bother me, but added up it becomes a bit too much, the load is weighing me down. But I will trust in my friends advice, I will take 5 deep breaths and I might even pop on Taylor Swift and dance like a nut to “Shake It Off!” Or maybe I need Guns ‘n Roses “Patience”?

take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I’ll just use a little patience
