...rather than making a big deal of 'em.

Here’s the bottom line from a post by Cassandra on the Alzheimer’s message boards: “I love my sister, but she is driving me crazy!”

Well, I had an answer for Cassandra: Don't let her drive you crazy. Grow a thicker skin. You can do it. If you set your mind to it.

A woman, calling herself Keliga, countered: “I don't think growing a thicker skin or letting it just go is the answer to anything.”

And a gal with the Irish-sounding name Riley added to the chorus: “…thick skin has nothing to do with any of it...”

But I’m sticking by my guns. Many a problem can be dealt with effectively by growing a thicker skin. By ignoring petty little things...rather than making a big deal of ‘em. –Jim Broede
