I have come to the conclusion that some people just take themselves way too seriously. Sometimes, you just have to let loose and go with the flow. I think that makes life so much easier to deal with. Not everything that happens is a disaster. Do bad things happen? Well of course they do, but if you make a dramatic episode out of the little things that happen in life, there is no way that you can deal with the big stuff.
I heard a great statement yesterday at the stables that may put things into perspective: "Don't pace in your stall worried about something that isn't happening."
(One of the horses was anxious because we moved his friend and he paced and paced; one of the other volunteers decided to use it as a learning experience for the rest of us)...

Thanks for the reminder.
