Don't sweat the small stuff
Observation of the day which has danger of seeming trite and yet remains compelling: I can do nothing about life and death. The child will be born ok or not and there's very little I can do about it. I have to leave the room when the TV shows the tsunami victims now. It's too upsetting and knowing more about it isn't going to change anything. But I can make the trek back to the bathroom supply shop so I can swap the handbasin taps so they match the bath taps. I could say: well, look at all those dead people and the live miserable ones - it hardly matters if the taps don't match. But I can do something about the taps and nothing about the misery of others. So I might as well do it. Thus I can maintain an illusion of control over my life and sleep easier at night. Does this make me a bad person? posted by Sarah | 21:29 0 comments
