Dont Cry Over Spilled Milk Day is observed by many as a day to think positive. A day for looking on the bright side of things then carry that with you every day after. Do not worry and do not stress over the little things. Life is too short to let the little things bother us. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-dont-cry-over-spilled-milk-day-february-11/Get Out Your Guitar Day Take cover! Yes thats right, someone has officially granted all the doleful Dylans and hopeful Hendrixes a whole day of their own to pull their axe out of the attic, dust it off and, if youre lucky, find someone who can tune it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/get-out-your-guitar-day/
Make A Friend's Day is the perfect way to break out of the overworked and just plain stressed out state of mind. We are busy leading such hectic lives, we barely have time for ourselves, much less maintaining old friendships. Whether old or new, friends serve an important role in our lives. Friends are our confidants. Real friends love us and like us for who we really are the good, the bad and the ugly. And the older we get, the more valuable those friendships become. Make a Friend Day, is the perfect opportunity to begin a new friendship. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/make-a-friend-day/
Satisfied Staying Single Day Seen by many as the antidote to Valentines Day, the international day of the singleton may be a strange occasion to mark. But Satisfied Staying Single Day, or S3, is less about chasing a dream of happily-ever-after, and more about living life in the moment a cause that even couples can embrace. And unlike St Valentine, with his cutesy satin hearts and overpriced roses, S3 remains reassuringly un-commercial. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/satisfied-staying-single-day/
White Shirt Day White Shirt Day marks the end of a union strike by employees of General Motors in 1937. Commemorate their fight for fairer working conditions by wearing a white shirt! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/white-shirt-day/

FYI - Take is from one who knows ...
Some days it's difficult to avoid sweating the petty stuff.

It is often very difficult to avoid the petty stuff when they just keep piling it on...
Our saying at work is.....
"Don't worry! This stupid plan will be replaced by one that is even more stupid."

(72,300 posts)7. I try to ask myself 'How important is this' before rising to the bait ...
to verbally kick-the-living-shit-outta-someone. But seriously, some numb-sculls just wanna fuss, argue and pitch temper tantrums. I've grown too old to put up with that nonsense.
