I forget my disappointments.

I have disappointments virtually every day. Things go wrong. Events. Like the Cubs losing. Or because people do things that disappoint me. Or I disappoint myself. But rarely do I allow disappointment bother me. For more than a few minutes. Because disappointments are usually trivial or minor things. And I prefer to get on with life. Savoring life. Yes, that's what I do. Change my focus. And find something to savor. Dwelling on disappointments is a waste of time. But savoring the wonders of life -- well, that's exactly what puts me into a good mood. And I forget my disappointments. --Jim Broede
