The simple life.

Since coming home I feel stupid most of the time -- for worrying about things that don't need to be worried about.

And I don't care most of the time about other people's issues. It sounds insensitive, I know. Different things are important to different people. But when I see people who are trying to make something out of nothing just for the sake of drama (you know these people), I get annoyed.

One of the biggest things that I take away from the trip -- It's just not that bad. Anything that will ever happen to me in my life is just not that bad -- the hubby losing his job in a bad economy. Me having horrible skin. Someone leaving me a bad tip. My grandmother dying from the flu. Not having enough money to do pretty much anything. It is NOT that bad.

Someone always has it worse than you.

And even they can be happy just to be alive.
