Hi Tom,

You have a few years on me, but I learned this lesson almost too late. When I was in my 20's & 30's, I was a driven, workaholic who took everything including myself way too seriously. At age 40 I had a heart attack, triple bypass surgery, and a major attitude adjustment. That was 12 years ago. Now I'm just a happier, less stressed, workaholic who tries to find good in everything and I don't sweat the small stuff. Life certainly is too short to be stressed out over all of the little things that you really have no control over anyway. Enjoy every day as if it might be your last so when it finally is, you will have no regrets. I think that it helps to find humor in everything.
