One Saturday we jumped in the car to head out to our weekend activities. While Jack was backing out of the driveway, I exclaimed: "oh, I forgot to bring the shopping bags and we need to of grocery shopping!" Then I started to recall how I gathered all the shopping bags in a pile, and left them next to the door, but in a rush to leave I forgot to take them with me. I then continued to complain how I always forgot about this, and it was so frustrating.
Jack said calmly: "take it easy, it's just some bags, they cost 10 cents each."
I thought about it and said: "That's true. It's not a big deal."
In our lives, it is really important to choose what to put our energy in, and focus on what's important, because we don't have energy for everything.
