"Are you mad? Well, you've got the same pants to get glad in."- Papa Klee
While this may be the most annoying, redneck line my dad ever repeats to me, I have to admit it's true. It usually comes in the times when I'm tired, frustrated or angry about something insignificant. Most often it gets blurted out when I've been asked to do a bunch of chores around the house or when someone has inconvenienced me enough to make me want to scream. I think what my dad is really trying to say is that you are in charge of your own happiness. You can let the little things nag at you, or you can brush off the minor problems and fix your eyes on the bigger picture. He's not saying that you should act as a doormat, rather that a person should worry less about temporary unpleasantness. If you focus on the "end result", another phrase he likes to employ, then you will feel less threatened by the bumps in the road.
