"Be Careless Shugg"
My Aunt Jeanette (my middle name) used to always tell us girls as we were parting company, "Be careless Shugg". I never really understood this. I just thought she meant to say the word careful, but didn't. Now I think I understand or I just choose to believe that she really meant, Be "Care-less". I think we have become a society that is too "care-ful". We have all sorts of worries! We are worried about disease, money, war, our children, our future, and a whole assortment of other anxieties. They even have labeled this "condition" as a disease and are more than willing to put you on a plethora of medications to supposedly help you no longer "worry". I choose to be care-less! Remember the saying, "I could care less"? Well, you could! Do not worry about tommorow, for it has it's own worries. Jesus said, "Do not become entangled in the worries of this world". I think he was on to something there. So, everyday, I try, sometimes successfully, not to be so "care-ful". So in passing, if I ever say to you, "Be careless Shugg", you will know what I mean and you will be blessed for the reminder. Be Care-less Shugg!

Great story and message. For many, including myself, it took about 40 years to gain the wisdom necessary to allow myself to just be me. I have no regrets and I am the happiest I have ever been. We all have ups and downs and from where I sit, I can see them coming. So, no worries. Trent
