Daily Gratitude: Remember “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”? This quote encapsulates the essence of life that we should be striving for. When you read it, you’ll smack your forehead and say “duh, of course”. if trouble comes, you’ll have plenty of time to be miserable (if that’s what you choose). So why steal some of that misery ahead of time? You certainly don’t need to “practice” being miserable, do you? Why not just go on about today’s business and deal with whatever is coming (if it is coming) when it gets here?
