Day 1281

Sammy has the BEST attitude ever!!! Nothing really brings him down. Life, for this boy, is a beautiful adventure! On the rare occasion when he is not on top of the world, he shakes it off and chooses ”Joy”

I once heard an analogy of holding on to worry. Carrying that heaviness within can steal your joy. The suggestion was to take a look at what you are figuratively holding in your arms and decide what you can put down. Perhaps one of the “packages” is related to a family issue. If you can’t affectively impact the problem, place it on the ground and walk away. A work issue… if you are unable to change the situation, put it down and move on. Pretty soon, the weight of concerns has lessened and you can look closer at what you still carry. Perhaps those few “packages of worry “ can now be dealt with as you focus on what you CAN change.

I worry about most everything, but I try to place those packages of concern that are “unfixable” by me, onto the floor and walk away. I can always pick them up later, if circumstances change.

Trying to be more “Sam-like” is my new goal! Shake of the worry and enjoy life more fully!
