Sweating the small stuff

It amazes me how I have a habit of dwelling on little things. Whenever I find myself freaking out because of all the traffic, I think back to a book I read in middle school, and although I don't remember the contents of this book, I do remeber its title Don't Sweat the Smal Stuff which I find myself doing.. alot.. hopefully I'm not the only one. I find myself getting wrapped up in little things that in the long run should not have stressed me out or occupied my mind for the past 3 days. Anyways that was sort of a pre-curser to what I think about sometimes as the definition of luck. Some people say that I'm lucky cus I win random contests more frequently than an average person, nothing big like the lottery but still more than the ridiculous $1 winnings on a scratch ticket. I on the other hand see myself as extremely unlucky, unlucky to the point when there are times when I believe I was cursed or someone put a hex on me in a previous life. What gives me that notion you ask? Well my ability to lose things is incredible. Jewlery, cell phones, keys, checks, and a lot of times due to ridiculous situations. So what sturred up this paragraph, well it didn't have to do with losing things. Its what has now become the vain of my existence on many days( Me sweating the small stuff once again). Today I was walking to the bus, my time schedule is pretty strict, because I like to be pulling out of my driveway at 9:10, parking by 9:15 and at the bus stop no later than 9:19. That is because according to the bus scheduale its supposed to come at 9:15, never does, and 9:25 which also ends up being 9:35 most of the time. So this morning I was pretty much right on schedule, I was 2 driveways away from the bus stop when I see my bus pulling away, it was 9:19. So this obviously started to stress me out, because if its coming now, another one pobably wont come for another 20 minutes and that throws off my whole commuting schedule, So of course I was pissed, but just as I was about to pull out my phone to find some game to occupy my time I see another bus, and not the bus thats not mine that drives by every other minute, but my bus, this was 2 minutes after the other bus had pulled away, so although I thought it was strange I was super psyched and got on. So not only did I not have to wait, but there was no one on this bus, because everyone had boarded the previous bus. So that made me think what a stroke of luck that was, which usually never happens to me when it comes to public transportation. So I took that as a sign that today is going to be a good day. Weird right? what we let influence our personal definitive decisions on what made our day "good" or "bad". Because just a simple spilling of my coffee all over my white shirt could hurdle me into a bad day. Which leads me back to sweating the small stuff. So I'm not really sure where I'm going with this I guess I report back at the end of the day and we can see if it really did end up being a "good" day un-influenced by the stupid little stuff.
