Lamenting. Over a trivial thing.

My biggest weakness. I get disappointed. And upset. Over relatively trivial stuff. Such as the outcome of a baseball game. The Cubs lost tonight. To the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3. After blowing a 3-1 lead. It should be no big deal. But it bothers me. Throws me off  my smooth-flowing course. Into a negative frame of mind. I’d feel so much better. If the Cubs had won. The Cubs still have won 15 more games than they’ve lost. They’re still in first place. But still, I sit down at the computer. Where I am now. Lamenting. In writing. When I should be rejoicing. And celebrating. Everything that has gone right today. --Jim Broede
