You worry a lot. Sometimes, the stress of “everyday” life gets to you and you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Then you might complain a lithe, and whine a little.. but how often do you stop to appreciate those little things in life? The things that make you happy, the things that make you feel good like a great cup of coffee or a long conversation with a close friend?
