Jules, true there are people out there that don't have common sense and we have to tell ourselves on't let their stupidity ruin our day. Because the reality is that it could be worse. it can always be worse. So the fact that you have already realized that makes you a better stronger person. Enjoy life to the fullest that you can at any moment because that moment may disappear and that chance for, whatever enjoyment, can be taken is then gone. You are the bigger person in the equation and hopefully the karma will come back tenfold. Sorry that your plans get screwed up and sorry about your mom. Been through that lately as well. Not just one family member but two. Will be a very different holiday season. But I will embrace it with the joy that I am still around at my age to celebrate it. Even though I am missing those who aren't still on this earth and those who are that I don't get to share it with anymore. My Bite Is Way Better Than My Bark, And My Nibble Is Even Better.

Just step outside your door and you're confronted with one boneheaded move after another. Yeah, I can generally tolerate most of the less than fun "stuff" that occurs but stupid is NOT one of them. I just hope that when my eyes roll back they don't get stuck. Chill, take deep breaths, don't gird anything and have a nice Thanksgiving in whatever way it comes this year. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

i do that too...." in the scheme of life is this impt?" i ask myself that...to keep myself in check. Yes !! the loss of your mom is impt....the loss of her at any dinner table , especially holiday time is impt. The way i see it....now you have lost the company of your sis n bro in law too.....a time when you could co commiserate. This pandemic and the ensuing shutdowns n isolation is Ugh !! I dont know your relationship with mom, but the loss of mine in 2011 has made life so very diff. Every holiday, bday, summer vakay is just very different. I could call her at 2 a.m and she would answer" hi miss (insert name)" as only i would be calling her at that un Godly hour.....lol. Yes....everyday is different. I wish you well..".ma'am."...lol. I dont like that chyt either...but hey....in the scheme of life ....it aint impt. We need to remember to be kind to ourselves , its a breath ata time. Good Vibes sent your way~~

I understand what you mean. All those trivial annoyances are piddling compared to gap in your heart and at your table. Still, nothing prevents you from venting - just for the healing powers of release. Yep... I understand that gap you feel. All the best to you at this time of year. I hope pleasant memories of previous years, will sustain you. 🌹 🍷 🍷 😎 ❗ ❗ ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

There has probably never been better health advice given then "don't sweat the small stuff". Take that advice and you will live longer and be happier. Looks like you are headed for a long and happy future.

Jules my Dear Friend, although our Holidays over here are still weeks away. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I won't be sharing Christmas Dinner with my Daughter and Grandkids, she has recently split up with the kids father. Naturally the kids will be spending some time with their Dad, and through him contact with his family. Things will get better, sadly not soon enough, but they will get better.  Sadly there is as yet, no vaccine for Stupid!! Please visit my Blog "Older but no Wiser"

It's taken me fiftysome years but I think I can finally balance my feelings about "how important is this" and "I'm still feeling pissed as fuck that this happened." I'm still maybe 55% zen and 45% mental tantrum when things hit a speedbump. I'm not quite there in terms of keeping the emotion out of the question. Thanks for the reminder that yes, things can indeed get worse, and that keeping things in perspective is key to maintaining SOME sense of inner harmony.

I usually keep up a running commentary of what [bonehead moves] I observe while driving and then I leave it in the car when I get out. When I get back to the car they are gone. Outside of the car, my eyes occasionally speak volumes [people wearing masks under the chin or nose] but I try to let the shit going on around me stay where it falls. As I get older [and older] my opinions get stronger and my realization grows that reacting to the malarkey just isn't worth it [but can be fun at times in the right situations.] Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

Don't sweat the petty stuff.....just pet the sweaty stuff

It's bad enough you lost your Mom..I'm sorry to hear that. But especially now with all that's going on. Awful!! Please stay positive, I know it's hard too..I have been there believe me. This too shall pass. Hang in there!!

It was not that long ago that you could rely upon the kindness of strangers and for people to *do the right thing*, especially in full view of their neighbors. For reasons both well-known to us and yet unrevealed, many of our kinder, gentler *selves* have left the room. Whether these current anxieties and petulances are speed bumps in our social progress, reversion to a more caustic mean or backsliding into a more dyspeptic darkness remains to be seen. I will reiterate my (apparently unflappable) optimism that while further disappointments and losses are to still to come, we grind forward, closer to the end than the beginning of our existential crises. When we are (finally) free to emerge from our isolation and again mingle without fear for our health, spirits will soar. I will even (quixotically) suggest that our shared suffering will draw us more firmly into the embraces of our better angels.

Everything's important if it has an impact on you......and no one's problems should necessarily be any less important than anyone else's......my view at least. You've had a terrible year, if anyone is entitled to feel aggrieved at small things, it's you McJules........and yet the fact that you question that and try to put it in a reasonable perspective is a mark of your character!

Happy Thanksgiving Jules!

Ah, Jules. That’s rough, about your mom.  Learning “new” ways, going forward, can be a bit challenging.I **try** to not let the meaningless garbage, like idgits who can’t seem to make even halfway-decent decisions, get under my skin. Only with varying degrees of success, though ... grrr. It’d be nice to say that kind of silliness doesn’t matter, however, in the aggregate ... for society ...  Who knows, what with all the disruptions of everything, the costs for things through the production and distribution chains may be different than usual. Of course, there is no guarantee that some won’t try to take advantage of the situation, especially at something like a holiday, to gouge. Like the old curse goes, “may you live in interesting times.” Although, I highly suspect that if Mr. Magic did appear, with or without the G-string, you might not really complain that hard, right? I don’t know. Should you just have straight-up backhanded him for the “ma’am” bit? I don’t think a jury of your peers would’ve figured it was too big of a deal, if you did.  If we could get “enough”, and that probably means more than we have now, people to do something a little more in the collective interest to get this public-health issue under a reasonable degree of control, then perhaps it will only be one year of non-normal holidays, etc. Considering that the U-shaped case curves from the spring until now, for a lot of countries, seems to demonstrate that the only thing controlling the virus appears to be the weather (sorry, humans, you ain’t been doin’ shit), we aren’t having the effect we could be. And, yes, it can always be quite a bit worse, for many, many people. Just trying to let it all roll off and find the happiness in whatever, wherever, you can is what matters. I’d be happy to give you a great big hug. But, we is waaaay too far apart for that, so this will have to do. -- allgud69xxx Yeah ... that's right ... I went there .. Wanna msg, but can't - my Postbox blog Another way to say hi my Postbox

Jules, the first of the holidays without a parent who's been with you throughout your life is always difficult. I am sorry for your loss. (I hope I read that correctly) You are so correct in that we could allow so many little things to bring us down if we allowed them to. However, due to the unique situation we all find ourselves in, it's very normal to get really frustrated. That's when we ask ourselves is it really worth it? I do hope you are doing well and your quarantine ends soon. Be safe and enjoy. Bud Always Ready for Fun.

....hey there.... hope things over the holiday went as well as could be expected.... sometime the new reality takes a bit to sink in fully.... ....as for the personal reaction to things, there are good thoughts shared here by others ..... get emotional over the good stuff... makes it more enjoyable.... get emotional over family stuff..... that's an obvious one..... the other stuff.... the annoyance of the moment....shake your head and breathe deep.... that's my solution.... unless it has a direct and meaningful impact let it go.... completely forgotten soon after.... ...unless you are digging out from a 14 inch snow storm.... then you can get annoyed as hell ....and swear a lot when you are digging..... and take Aleve with the two glasses of wine needed to relieve the sore muscles..... stay safe ... stay strong.... ... carpe diem....

Many trivial "not important "things here, come to play my lady It has to do with the stress factors, pestering these strange times As a friend used to say : "Dumbasses don't have a homeland" Deep breaths, grit your teeth, and keep that gorgeous smile Cheers - P
