Everytime when I'm down & out, Daryl will remind me of the bigger things in life and appreciate what we have. I really need reminders like that 'cos I tend to take many things for granted. He will come up with some "words of wisdom" which are like a wake-up call to me. So when I'm all fumed up or when I'm upset abouth how some things go, I like to talk to him to soothe and calm myself down. Like this morning, he emailed and reminded me that "we can go thru life worrying about what others are talking or thinking (or perceive to be thinking) about us and end up being paranoid OR we can just ignore them and be happy... remember we can not control how others think of us and we can never satisfy everyone around us". Nothing new, really. But it hits the nail on the head when he said it.

That's a really good reminder because like you, I also am often affected by what others think or say but really we have no control of their thoughts or actions so we have to ignore them, but it can be hard to do that sometimes.
