Don't sweat over the small stuff

I realize that I always sweat over the small stuff. Maybe that’s why I have tons of gray hairs. I worry and stress over every little thing (I’m sure I got this from my Mom). I sometimes don’t know that I’m doing it until someone points it out.

Story: This past Saturday (9/4), my husband and I took Sarah to Sears for her 3-month studio portraits. We ended up buying a 10×10 framed portrait with 4 poses. We also had her name printed on the portrait, in pink. SQ questioned if I really wanted her name in pink, and I said, yes, because the pink matched the shirt Sarah wore. But then this morning, I woke up at 6:30am contemplating about the decision I made. I woke up SQ and said, “oh no, I think the pink might not show up on the white background…” I got worried because we paid good $$ for that frame and it was the only thing we ordered. I didn’t want it to be not perfect. Then SQ said, “why are you worrying so much about the name? so what if the name doesn’t show up? It’s the photos you want to see, right? that’s more important.” And at that moment, I knew he was right. Why sweat over a few words if the picture is what I’ll treasure more!

P.S. Happy 3-month birthday today, my little Sarah!
