Knowing...

I wish for things to go right in my life. Every day. But not everything does. Something goes awry. Usually little, inconsequential things.  Such as the outcome of a Chicago Cubs game. I try not to be bothered by that stuff.  Which is relatively easy.  With a simple reminder. I have no control over most matters. If something goes wrong, and it’s my fault – well, then I might feel bad about it. I try to fix it. If that’s possible. If it ain’t, I may have to practice acceptance. Anyway, at the end of the day, chances are that I’m a happy guy. With no major gripes. And knowing...that I’m in love with life. –Jim Broede
