heavy sh*t

None of that here! No, sir.

There is enough heavy ...um, stuff going on in the world right now. I am not going to share any of mine with you (it's there). Nor am I going to replay any of the heavy ...um, things that the world is coming to grips with at the moment (there's a lot of it).

Nope. Not going to be that blogger.

Instead, I am going to share with you a realization I had recently when dealing with all of the heavy ...um, nonsense that we are constantly bombarded with these days.

Are you ready for it?

That heavy ...um, business --it's there whether you stress about it or not. The best thing you can do is deal with it without clutching your pearls or gnashing your teeth. If you want to clutch your teeth and gnash your pearls, that'd be different and something to try, but otherwise, it's been done.

You are permitted and encouraged to enjoy the little things that life brings you.

A good cup of coffee? Awesome.

Waking up on a quiet morning? Wonderful.

Fart jokes? Hey, whatever works, pal. All for it.

Are you hurting anyone by taking a moment away from the heavy ...um, malarky? No. It is necessary for mental health. Do it. Dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiiiit ...

Then go back and deal with all the heavy ...um, goings-on. They'll be easier to deal with.

And I'm totally serious about that shit.
