Letting Little Things Bug Me

The counter on Blogger isn't working so I have no idea how many people are now reading my blog at this particular time or how many new hits I have on my profile.

I'm a counter. I like to count things. So I'm frustrated.

I was talking with my friend this morning about our weekends. We both were involved in different events that didn't go quite as planned but turned out well.

I expressed a little frustration and she just laughed. Then I said:

"Well, I am a bit rigid at times."

She said, "Yes, there is that."

Author Phillip Roth used to talk about a guy who had a "Cloud of Apprehension" around him. Whenever one problem, large or small, was solved he just moved his cloud to another spot.

I don't want to be that guy.
