So sorry that my post got off my own topic as I rambled -- the point was to try to find ways to combat the little things that knock us down and get back on track again.

One way for me is to put what's bothering me out there -- then someone like September comes along and puts it in a different context, and I see the thing I'm beating myself up for isn't so bad after all.

But that belonged on another Forum, maybe anxiety or general, not here. Please excuse while I get used to the focus of this Forum.
