Once upon a time, I found many reasons to be unhappy. Merely
took something going awry. Even the outcome of a Chicago Cubs baseball game. Or
a flat tire. Or catching a cold. I
stewed over this sort of stuff. Put me in a bad mood. Letting it ruin my otherwise happy day. I focused on
what went wrong. Rather than the many things that went right. Didn’t stop to
count my blessings. Because I was busy trivializing. Over an event over which I
had virtually no control. Of course, it wasn’t trivial when by wife Jeanne died
of complications from Alzheimer’s. In 2008. I grieved. But I survived. Got over
it. And got on with the main mission in my life. The pursuit of happiness. No
matter what happens. No sense in staying unhappy forever. --Jim Broede
