Anyone ever feel like they get caught up in the small things in life, and forget to look at the big picture? Then you ask yourself why was I upset over something so small? I hate that it takes something tragic to happen for me to open my eyes and let the small things go. You get angry that someone cut you off driving or you forget to pay a bill, but then realize how ridiculous it was in comparison to losing a loved one. I wish I could see the “big picture” all the time, but I guess I’m only human.

Sometimes we need to climb the small hills to see the horizon and mountains. Not sure how far you are in sobriety, but for me I started letting go of the small stuff about 8 months in. I was just more at peace.
