So hippy.

"Some of it's magic

Some of it's tragic

But I had a good life all the way"

- Jimmy Buffett

Sometimes, you forget to take it all in. 

Everything is in such a continuous state of hyper drive that it is easy to get caught up in the chaos. 

I find myself recently getting distracted by little annoyances, which add up to make situations seem worse off than they really are. 

Like, is it really the end of the world if my husband left his midnight cereal bowl out on the living room table for the 4th night in a row?

Yes. 

Okay, no.

 Maybe not world ending, but extremely frustrating. 

Like, I may spring an aneurysm walking into the room. 

But I am coming to the realization that this completely rational and in no way dramatic reaction is unnecessary, at best. 

There are so many tragic happenings going on right now. 

I hate how trite it sounds, but it does make one stop and pause to think about the relevance of events. 

I mean, I may think violent thoughts every time I come face to face with one of my many peeves, but I'm still surrounded by the people I love most.

Furthermore, they and I are still in well enough health to enjoy the fact that we are all present and accounted for.

I should have nothing valid I can complain about.

And really, I don't.

I have a beautiful little boy. I have a beautiful husband.

I have loving and functional family, I have happiness...

I have everything.
