Yesterday I wrote about the nothing fight, so I thought it would be fitting to write about things that matter – and things that don’t. I found myself upset this morning about how others were driving, self-centered and way too aggressive. I know that by driving defensively, for the most part, it really doesn’t affect me. Yet I let it bother me until I did my morning attitude check, “what really matters?”

So on this Friday let’s go down that checklist.

Things that matter:

Hugs

Kisses

Someone to love

Someone who loves you

Smiles

Pets

“Daddy (or Mommy) I love you!”

Baby I love you!

Unconditional Love

Faith

Hope

Love

True Friends

Peace of mind

A clean dry place to sleep tonight

 

Things that don’t:

Hate

Mean people

Meaningless deadlines

Grudges

Bad drivers

Spiteful coworkers

Rude customers

Fake friends.

Things you can’t change

 

So let’s concentrate on the things that matter today, have a cold beverage, and hug someone – you (and they) may need it.
