Stuck in traffic makes me think of shooting someone, making an illegal u turn, driving on the shoulder of the road , as you can see I do not deal with traffic too well. Playing with children, especially my grandchildren, gives me a sense of pleasure and peace and also, "when are they going to tire out so I can sit down." I have no pets, but I can tell you what I think when I see someone walking their pet/dog "They better clean up the "do do" and have respect for someone Else's property.
When I can't sleep,usually that is when I am worried about something or something I have planned, like a trip, party, working on a project or minor little details of something that is about to happen.
Since I have gotten older, my thought process has changed, the little mishaps in life are no longer worthy of taking up space in my brain. Life is a journey and that includes the good and the bad. Life is also very short, so I try to make the best of situations. I have a ongoing dialog with "God" whether it being, thank you for today, thank you for keeping us and our loved ones safe, even thank you for a good parking spot and sometimes, forgive me for maybe cussing a little.
Thanks for hosting Faye, you really give us "Food for thought"

What? You cuss? No! ;0) Just kidding! Happy Monday...love you!
I should take your advice and not worry about the little mishaps. My blood pressure would go down.
I'm with you, tho, about cleaning up after dogs. When I had my big pooper (and it was) I learned to carry little pink bags.
I'm with you, worry really does not good. It's not healthy.
Sounds like you're on cruise control everywhere except in traffic!
I habve enjoyed reading your post. We do have some similarities in our thinking. After I figure out that I need to get up in the morning, I am looking for a caffiene jolt. Playing with my grandchildren and spending time with their parents are some of my best moments. And my prayers are more like a dialog with God rather than the traditional kind of prayer.
I LOVE coffee--that's first thought on my mind in the morning--even better if there's a blueberry scone to go with it. And I'm all for responsible pet owners making their own honey patrols. Willie's poop bags are bright yellow so the neighbors will know we're good citizens.
More seriously though, you're right to be selective about what you spend serious though on. Usually it's the little things that make our lives good and meaningful.
You are right about not sweating the small stuff. I'm in my 30s now and am oh-so-slowly beginning to learn how to do that. And I hear you about the pet mess. I hope to have a dog someday, and if I do, you can bet that I'll be trailing behind him/her with the pooper scooper. Irresponsible pet owners give owners - and pets - a bad name.
Thanks for the thought-provoking post, and happy FM!
you will be happy to know that clipped to my dog's leash I have a holder for poop bags, I am a very responsible pet owner and it drives me nuts also when people don't clean up after their dogs.
Not clearing up doggy doos is a pet hate of mine (excuse the pun). As I've got older I feel less able to cope with all the minor irritants of life-it's been particularly noticeable in the past 2 years since I retired. Almost like now my mind has been cleared of the stress of work it has to be replaced!
Your thoughts are the same as mine in the morning...what time is it and I hope there's coffee made.
