In case you're still sweating the small stuff...a little perspective never hurts.

Life is far, far too short to quibble over the many differences we may have with one another as we travel from one moment to the next. The following pictures (admittedly, appropriated from an earlier email sent to me from a good friend) I think illustrates how infinitesimally small we really are in the universe. We truly are mere blips in existence. Make the most of your 'blip' and remember, don't sweat the small stuff.

This is also worth musing over as you watch...
All the petty things that I have held onto over the years...what a complete waste of my time! In a cosmic-scheme of things, we are barely even 'here' to begin with. Stewing over differences with a co-worker, family member, spouse, child, or the dude in the SUV who just lane-changed without a turn signal...it really shouldn't be worth a moment of our ire. Not. A. Single. Second. Why not go through the rest of our lives, right now, starting this very moment, with love, kindness and laughter in our hearts and 'let go' of the silly and ineffectual trifles that do us no good today or after we are gone? In the end, after all is said and done, "the rest is silence."
