Gnats

[Kidless]

As I look back on my younger years I often wonder why I got so upset over certain things.  They were just gnats. The little things that were so picky they weren't worth any thought at all.  However, like gnats, they were there and pesky.  These days the gnats are gone and life is so much calmer.  Do any of the rest of you feel this way?

Yes, I feel like that!  I'm trying to tell my daughter that the silly little things we worry about are really nothing in the big scheme of things.  She still doesn't get it.  I usually let things slide and don't let them bother me anymore.

I sure do feel this way! Wow, what an eye opener! Just today I said to myself, I can't believe that such and such is no big deal anymore, this made my blood boil forty years ago, as I recall! I guess that our minds develop a different perspective on things as we age.

I want to agree with you so much.  I do feel this way really.   Just my husband keeps things riled up.  He goes off on the least thing and there goes my day
