Advocacy & Safety - Thought Du Jour

One of Canadas national newspapers, The Globe and Mail, has a daily section called Social Studies; A daily miscellany of information. It always ends with a thought of the day.

"It’s almost impossible to overestimate the unimportance of most things.” (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/facts-and-arguments/yes-you-can-a-bad-time-to-joke-whisper-while-you-work/article1443560/)

There's also the wisdom of 'take care of the pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves'.

Very timely. I'm starting a couple of new, potentially stress-inducing projects this week, and I will definitely keep that thought in mind.

Or, more simply:


Don't sweat the petty things,
and don't pet the sweaty things!

Don't sweat the petty things,
and don't pet the sweaty things!

Except in bed.

Don't sweat the petty things,
and don't pet the sweaty things!

That works for me. She considers herself a person not a thing and glows with perspiration.
