Don't Worry Be Happy

Thanks for dropping in here on my podcast. Glad to have your company. I'm sitting here in my big, manly, comfortable black leather poppa chair in my living room, wondering how I ever got this lucky. I figure I have finally proven that men are smarter than women. Because if women were as smart as men, how come I married my Lady Wonder Wench and she married me? I know some of you are going through tough times, and I'm not telling you how happy I am to make you feel worse. In fact I want to remind you of the words of Big Louie in my book Staying Happy Healthy And Hot. Louie says, "You can never tell when something wonderful is going to happen." The other side of that is true too.
I've found an amazing thing in my life. Only about half of the things I worry about ever happen. In fact only about half of all the things I expect to happen in my life actually happen. I'm not kidding about that. And I wonder if you've found the same thing to be true. Please let me know. Email is dick at dick summer dot net. So look, if only about half the things we worry about ever really happen, that means we're worrying twice as much as necessary. And don't get me wrong, I'm not looking at life through rose colored glasses. I had an experience this morning that made it very clear that I'm at the bi-focals part of my life. And this morning my glasses got a little teared up when I suddenly realized that every day I'm watching the Summer sunshine of my life that I have loved so much fade into Autumn gold.
