Makes for a reasonably happy life.

I  used to lament losses by my favorite teams. The Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears. But I’ve learned to take defeat in stride. No big deal. Don’t lose any sleep. Just get on with the rest of my life. I reserve my time for celebration. When the Cubs and Bears win. Even though that may be only occasionally. Fact is. I want to feel good. Not glum. So I pick and choose the things that affect me. Focusing on the positives. Not the negatives. I refuse to be disappointed. In the Cubs or the Bears. I accept their ineptness.  And embrace their excellence. Makes for a reasonably happy life. –Jim Broede
