What’s your “stuff”?

Even when I rationalize I shouldn’t “sweat the small stuff,” it just about drives me crazy when I can’t find the birthday card I bought for a friend, can’t locate a particular photo of a funny moment I suddenly remember and want to share, or start mixing cookies before realizing I’m missing an essential ingredient. Perhaps it’s because I’m an organized person, and when something doesn’t “fit” the way I think it should, I take it personally. I’ve admitted in past blog posts that I’m a recovering control freak.

I don’t get it. I can be in the middle of tearing apart my closet looking for the jacket I haven’t worn for three months, and I’m telling myself, “You have plenty of jackets to wear. You don’t need this jacket. Let it go. Quit wasting your time.” And I’ll keep searching.

Maybe it’s just me. But maybe not. I’m glad Francesca wrote this song to remind me – and perhaps you, too – that “In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I’m blessed.” 

Let “This Is The Stuff” encourage you today…and leave a comment of the little stuff that drives you crazy. I imagine there are many of us that have some little stuff in common!
