"Don't sweat the small stuff."

Advice given to me today by my aesthetician.  "But don't ignore the profound issues either.  If there are any," she continued. 

Then, as she performed a rather "private" procedure, she went on and on about her own private life ... about the quirks and habits of her husband's that "make her nuts," but in the overall scheme of things were not deal-breakers.  "He is a wonderful man.  Although it bugs me how he can't just throw his socks into the laundry basket after he takes them off, it won't kill me." 

Then, she shared with me the unspeakable: "In a few years, his quirks will be yours, as well." 

My honest response: "How scary!" 

But I said that with a smile.  :)
