What Are You Worrying About Today?

I'm still upset about my ugly red hair. I hate it. It's been a couple of weeks since I did it to myself and I still can't stand to look in the mirror. But then I think about that collapsed condo in Florida and what those people lost, and feel like a fool. 

Imagine losing:

Every photo you ever took of yourself and your children, from birth through elementary school and high school and beyond. Graduations. Your wedding photos. Your dead parents. All the pets you once had and are now gone.

All your important papers and documents. Insurance records for your home and car and health. Titles, deeds, wedding licenses. Birth certificates, Social Security info, tax returns. Bank statements. Current and past bills, many now overdue.

Old health records. Mammograms. Results of surgeries. Medications and prescriptions.

Awards you may have won for work, or other accomplishments. Getting that strike in your bowling league!  Starring in the local community play and getting great reviews in the local papers!

All your clothes, shoes, underwear, handbags, boots, hats, gloves, coats, jackets, PJs, umbrellas, bathing suits. Your favorite slippers, all your workout gear. Your prosthetic leg! 

Sheets, towels. Your bed, all your furniture. Technology, iPads, computers, cell phones, TV sets. Books. Art you have may have made or purchased over the years.

Your piano, guitar, violin, cello, drum set, other musical instruments.

Your keys.

The remote.

Your pets.

Your life.

Then consider what petty thing you are fretting over right now.
