I am a huge fan of the series of yellow-colored, paperback "how-to" books that include "....... for Dummies" annexed to the title. You'd think that a series of books that announces itself as being for stupid people would have a tough time selling itself in bookstores, where everyone can plainly see by your purchase what a dunce you are. I never buy mine in bookstores. Thanks to the anonymity of internet purchasing, I can buy that kind of stuff and have it delivered to my door with no one else the wiser. Sounds kind of dirty, if you ask me, but I wouldn't really know- I never buy dirty stuff on-line. (pause) I just buy lots of "Dummies" books, even reading perhaps as much as a quarter of them. But they're there, if I need to look anything up.
Most of my Dummies books are about computer stuff, writing, or music (that breaks down into a lot of sub-catergories....take my word), but I've never seen a "Life for Dummies" edition. (There is a blue adaptation that goes by a different name, but I digress.....). So I thought to write an abbreviated version of my own. As follows:
Don't take yourself so damn seriously.
Don't sweat the small stuff (and it's all small stuff).
Don't worry about what others are thinking about you. They don't do it that often.
Turn it over, but don't forget to let go of it, else it's just upside down.
Tell yourself the truth.
(Available at amazon.com soon)
And in the "Just Looking for the Silver Lining, Here......" department-
(Thanks to Cute Overload):
Look, I’m cool with the whole cone thing. Medically necessary, keeps me disciplined, yadda yadda — I get it. I’m just saying, as long as I have to wear this, why not pour a little kibble in here? That too much to ask?
