A happy alternative to mourning.

I seldom mourn. Oh, maybe for the loss of a loved one. But not when tragedies occur to strangers. I try to isolate myself from the needless emotion. Because so very many  happenings are beyond my control. Stuff happens. Instead of lamenting, best to get on with my own life.  Now. Today. Savoring life. One way or another. Not allowing myself to be overwhelmed by the daily litany of tragedies in the world. Instead, I’m focused on the pursuit of pleasure and happiness.  Yes, that’s far better than succumbing  to the sadness of mourning. –Jim Broede
