Ever have one of those moments when you see someone you "know" but for the life of you cannot remember their name? I have had many instances when I knew the face, knew where I knew them from, knew when we met, but could not remember the name.
This same problem also rears its ugly head in the midst of my search for things. I have spent hours and days looking for things, only to find them when I buy the replacement. I remember ALMOST hitting a home run in little league but I don't remember how many times I may have struck out that same year.
Today's word is a quote from E. Joseph Cossman, which says, "If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today." To which I add, "Keep pushing - it'll pass."
We seem to worry about so many things that really don't mount up to a hill of beans. I mean, we will keep ourselves awake at night, lose weight, develop an ulcer over things that won't even matter three weeks from now, much less one year.
Hey, listen, I am as bad as anyone to fret over little trivial stuff; it's not little or trivial while I am fretting but in hindsight, it is really not worth the worry. I don't know what you may be in knots about today but rest assured that if you will keep pushing, it'll pass. And, if anyone remembers the home run I ALMOST hit, please don't remind me of the strikeouts.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
