Stumbling on Happiness

We are all just floundering around, trying to make the most out of our lives. I know that is what I am doing. I try to get the most out of every day no matter what happens. Bad things happen...you get up late, your commute sucks, you are bored at work, you get yelled at, whatever, things happen. You can get upset about it or you can shrug your shoulders and plow on through. I used to get upset about what other people 'did' to me, but then I realized that no one was 'out to get me' and getting upset about someone bumping into me or walking slowly or cutting me off or whatever injustice they were committing was not really being done to me. And I stopped getting upset. And things have actually gotten better. You stop noticing all of the little supposed injustices. Your day improves. You are happier.
