Quote:
Unburden yourself
Many of the little things that cause you continuing frustration can be greatly reduced or eliminated. It's simply a matter of taking the time and making the effort to do so.
The small frustrations are usually the easiest to get rid of. Because they are small, though, you may not have made it a priority to deal with them.
Remember, however, that the small frustrations add up quickly. When combined together, they can impose a major burden on your time and your life.
So make the choice to unburden yourself from them, one by one. Devote some time to ridding yourself of many of those little frustrations that can add together to drag you down.
At first glance, it may seem like a waste to spend an hour or two dealing with something that normally sets you back only a few minutes each day. Yet if you can save yourself those few minutes, day after day, month after month, it can add up to an enormous amount of time.
And by freeing yourself from more and more small frustrations, you free your mind and your spirit to focus on the positive, meaningful things. Find ways to unburden yourself from the little frustrations, and you'll find opportunities to add greatly to the richness of life.

Had a friend call me today. We have known each other for 15 years. I was at her wedding to a guy from AA, who I have known for about 18 years.
She just got home from the hospital and wanted to let me know she was home. She really sounded good and up-beat and made a point of telling her so.
A burden shared is lessened. If you share with another you are only left with half. If you go to a meeting and there is a lot of members there, that is bonus.
