No more worries

Today is a good day!

I've been having alot of good days recently. It must be because I worry about alot less than I used to. Take for instance, about a year ago, I was really worried about losing my job. I was also rather upset about the way I let a car dealership take advantage of me when I bought my car. My girlfriend and I were having problems with the physical distance and I was ready to throw in the towel. But, today everything is completely different. I am still upset with my dealership and I have alot more reason for it. Apparantly, no one told me that picking a car dealership is like looking for a wife. You should be prepared to have to deal with your car dealership even a year after you buy your car and the relationship I have had with my dealership is a prime example.
I wont go into details, but the lastest is that it seems that although I paid for an extended service contract on my car, it is not in force and so I couldnt use it recently when a part on my car died. Im still tracking that down to see what recourse is available to me. But wait? I said things are different. Yup they are in the sense that I am just not worried about it. I will bother them and complain, but at the end of the day if I dont get recourse, life doesnt stop, so I dont have to worry about it. As for the job, I have many of the same problems I had then, but I am probably one of the more important employees in my department. What can I say? I put in alot of work and brought alot of new ideas to the table. And that is due in large part to my change in attitude. Instead of saying I cant do it, I say to myself, let me try. As for the girlfriend, well, we are engaged! So atleast that has changed considerably. But then again I do have to "worry" about the wedding arrangements, and other related activities. But we are planning and taking it one day at a time.

Every day when I think about something to worry about, I stop and then say, you know there is no point in worrying. I'll keep living my life the best way I know how and I when make a mistake, I'll learn from it. If I died today I would want to be content that in my last moments I wasnt worrying about anything and so I take the challenges that come with the best attitude possible.
