A lot of people out there will tell you that it's not important to be concerned with all of the little things that life presents you with—that it's not that big a deal and you shouldn't "sweat the small stuff." They will explain that worrying about all of the small stuff, which they sometimes refer to as insignificant, does nothing more than complicate your life and create a whole lot of stress. But, I think that when you take a hard look at it all, often it's the small stuff that we overlook or neglect to pay attention to that causes the "bigger" problems in life. I'm not recommending that you become a worrywart or go "nuts" over everything but just that you take a bit better care of the little things.
When you think about it, life's really not that complicated. It's rather simple if you let it be, as long as you're willing not to let technology drag you completely to the other side. There's a lot of good stuff out there, but keep in mind that you'll still have to breathe, blink your eyes, and relieve yourself. Your Palm Pilot won't be able to do that for you, at least not yet. So when you start to think about it, with all that has happened to us, maybe it's time we started worrying about the little things—the not-so-technical things—again.
