Explanation: The Death Bed Moment

The Death Bed Moment. It is one of my better ideas. Ever freak out about something that was completely not worth it? Ever rant and rave about things or people or events that, in hindsight, didn't deserve the time and effort it took? Well, I like to judge all things by the "Death Bed Moment". If you had 5 minutes to live, if you were LITERALLY on your death bed, would the thing that you are obsessing about really be what was on your mind? Would you give it a second thought? If it isn't, then it is NOT a Death Bed Moment and not worth the time it takes to draw a breath to begin the rant and you should just let it go.
Believe me, this way of thinking will save your sanity. IF you remember to do it.

You kill me! I just laughed out loud and snorted - and I'm at work - not "professional".
Um, actually, it's a king size.

Yeah well, it's kinda necessary. Puffy Kracker and I need the room. We're not as svelte as we used to be.

This is your not much older but much wiser sister.
I must say I laughed out loud and decided I will just read your blog to destress myself whenever I have a King size death bed moment. Tell Puffy Kracker and El Diablo hello from me, Bild, Goo and Skater Punk.

I love the "Death Bed Moment" explanation. Simple but a true reminder not to sweat the small stuff. I will try to incorporate this thinking the next time I am feeling it...maybe later today:)

Well, that pretty much cancels out most of the things I tend to worry about, LOL!

It's kind of like the book 'Don't Sweat The Small Stuff... And It's All Small Stuff', only up a few notches.

I'm now a new fan of your blog and am adding you to my blogroll, so you should be famous, like really soon... Or maybe Not.
