a little rant, selfish, i know but...

why, WHY do some people insist on making mountains out of molehills?

life is hard enough and everyone i know has their share of hard times and grief to deal with- EVERYONE!

from money issues and jobs to health problems to children and or grandchildren
spouses, elderly parents or bad neighbors,

the list goes on and on and most of the people i know have more than 1 of these things to deal with at any given time.

yet, they insist on what i see as nitpicking on small issues that really will not affect their lives much if at all.

perhaps they are focusing on these small things to get away from the big issues for awhile, but impacting others negatively just spreads more sorrows and aggravations on those others and really does little to help with the big issues.


how many times have we gone to some one's funeral and felt regret that we parted the dead on a bad note, hard feelings ,a cross word? i know i have.

anyway, that's just something a had to get off my chest.
been to way too many funerals, heard about far too many people with serious health concerns,sick kids, kids in jail or rehab, grandchildren buried in tiny white caskets. jobs lost,homes foreclosed,and then there is the fear of the things that "might" happen.the personal deep seated fears we all have.

so, be nice, o.k?
cut someone some slack each day.
even a smile helps. sometimes more than anything, a smile helps.

rant over. thanks.


p.s. no, i'm not some fucking pollyanna. i'm just tired,
and tired of seeing others hurt.
