My route to peace of mind.

Several friends and acquaintances constantly bombard me with what’s going wrong in their lives. I find it both amusing and disconcerting. Because it’s relatively minor and trivial stuff. Nothing life-threatening or cataclysmic. Meanwhile, there’s much going right, too. But they tend to gloss over that. And they come off as if in the doldrums. But hey – truth be told -- negative thinkers are good for me. After all, they remind me to be positive. To rise above the fray. People don’t want to hear my complaints. They have enough gripes of their own, unfortunately. Anyway, it’s a matter of free choice. So much better to focus on what’s going right. That’s my route to peace of mind. --Jim Broede
