Small Stuff My A*s ~ Emotional Rantings of a Mad White Woman

Just the emotional turmoil that is the life I face each flipping day!

I have decided that I despise the saying "Don't sweat the small stuff".  I can handle almost any crisis (I believe I have proven this over the past 50 years) but the everyday CRAP that has to be dealt with just really pisses me the hell off.  PUSH--Pray Until Something Happens.  Well, prayers said and more just keeps happening.  *deep sigh* FROG--Fully Rely On God.  That one is a tad more difficult for me; but I am trying.  WWJD--What Would Jesus Do?  Good Question and with all due respect -- "Hey Jesus, HELP!! I realize most think it is the big stuff that destroys us within but I am here to tell you it is the "small" stuff that kills!"  Lord take this as you will but I am reached my limit, thank you for your time and I ask patience from you as I learn to not commit homicide over all the "small stuff" that is killing me.

WHOA!
Would you like some caffeine? Something to spark your intensity? There is enough important issues in all our lives to pull our hair out on. The little ones are little because they are not worth a can of Bushs' beans!

Yes, maybe. However there is a solution to the big problems in life. The little problems just build until they have you ready to shave your head and move to Tibet to become a monk so that you do not have to deal with anything. It may be little later but in the moment when you have had 500 little things in the matter of a couple hours they become the big thing you can do nothing about. It was a simple rant at the events of a day. Several days (3 years) to be precise that the little things cause big things to happen. BTW--I am never without caffeine cause that is just dangers. :) Thanks for reading.

I wish there was an easy answer that I could provide that you would want to hear as not as cliche'!

LOL I understand. The funny thing is the writer of "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" made millions for someone seeking a solution to life's every day problems. I just need to find a way to deal with the so called small stuff (and write it down) so I can make millions as well. The small stuff is looking at losing me a career for awhile....guess I need to work on selling my writing. Even if it is only through Kindle for 99 cents a pop. LOL To everything there is a solution; my task it is simply find mine. :) Have a blessed and happy day.

The last line (while written under the duress of stress, perhaps) is so spot on that it made me smile - not at your dilemma - because I have felt this way, lot of times. And, you are right, of course, the small things are what build up to cause the big problems.

Thank you so much for reading my work. The past three years have been filled with enough small stuff to be a Movie of the Week. People keep telling me to relax...if i could there would be no small stuff. LOL I appreciate the read. :)
