RE: Tiger Lilies, Free Food for the Foraging, and #ShoutOuts to fellow Steemians
YES!!! One of the women who survived the Titanic said that: Don't fret the small stuff, it's pretty much all small stuff.
I'm internalizing this and I would make a wall plaque out of it except I've seen so many plaques and memes, they become plagues and reminders of how I keep failing to be the bright, cheery bringer of joy to all.
How can we clone your wisdom and innoculate humanity with it?
This one's not my wisdom, but taken from the title of a book. ;-)
And it's just a guess, but the woman on the Titanic may have been Molly Brown, who had enough wisdom and humor for the whole damn ship.
I've read several books about her over the years, but don't recall that quote, but of course it may well have been another woman.
And I've always meant to read the book, but then again, perhaps the title is enough. ;-)

The unsinkable Molly Brown had her share of great, quotable quotes! The woman I'm thinking of was one of the last two surivors, almost a hundred years old at the time, and I saw her interviewed (Eva....?) and she said "it's all small stuff." Others have said similar things. She may not have coined the phrase. Looks like Richard Carlson gets credit for it:
