No. I do not sweat the small stuff. Sometimes I don't sweat the bigger stuff. I'm getting older and I read the obits in the newspaper occasionally. I see pictures of the deceased who are often my age or younger but they look like old people. They look beyond middle age. They look like the elderly people I would still give up my seat on the bus to because they look so much older than me. Heck... if their real ages were stamped on their foreheads I'd have been sitting a lot more than standing... you just can't tell nowadays because so many sixty year olds look sooooo old. And people twenty years my junior, almost everyone I know who earns over sixty thousand a year, have already been hospitalized with their first triple or quadruple bypass. What brought them to that point? Easy answer.. they sweated the small stuff.
I can tell you from my experience of life among those who sweat the small stuff and what I discover time and again.. there's just no future in it. By that I mean this, sweat the small stuff and you just won't be around long enough to enjoy the bigger stuff.

As I get older, I worry more about everything. Maybe because I am running out of time. Don't know.
How little time do you have left? I'll be sixty this year. There's just no future in sweating the small stuff.
