The Big Book 0f Small Stuff

Several helpful ideas here that I am attempting to practice in my everyday life: (1) Make allowances for incompetence....Let it go that others don't work as hard as you do. (2) Stop exchanging horror stories....Does everyone do this? Does everyone tell your spouse, your children, your friends all the awful parts of your day? And how does that help? (3) Be 99% gossip free...Hard one for me. I love the juicy stories. But I've found that gossip is dangerous when you work and live in the same town as most of your relatives and friends. Got to work on this one.
