I think I read something similar in SR, perhaps before you two were around!
I got a book that is called "Dont sweat the small stuff" by Richard Carlson, its a wonderful read!! a Bestseller that always sends you to the right track...
Amazon.com: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--and it's all small stuff (Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Series) (9780786881857): Richard Carlson: Books
I like that way of thinking because it allows feelings be and reminds us not to be fooled by some of them dragging you down... its a process.
The cat sends regards!!
