Marsha,
I find having a good sense of humor and not expecting everything to be perfect because NO human being is, helps a lot. I find after raising five children and trying to make them *perfect,* that the best way is to just set a good example and let them be their own personalities is a lot more fun and they turned out much to be proud of and each very interesting to chat with and be around ...The same way with cruises, ...you start one with a positive attitude and unless there are major inadequacies that can't be remedied by going to the proper authorities, don't let the minor ones that nothing can be done about bother you..If my husband mentions a minor complaint, I always try to counter it with a positive one and he smile and agrees! At our age, we are just grateful to be cruising as much as we do and enjoying it more because we do not* look* for problems...that is what some people do and spend all their *should be fun time* being miserable and nit picking...Life is too precious and short to take small things so seriously...Let go of them!!! Even the big ones..Forget about them..they are the past for heaven's sake! What good does it do you to relive them over and over...does it make you feel better? I only brings you and those around you down and is certainly not worth it!

When I was in a hurry, about five years ago and backed out the garage door without using the door opener, I was so devastated and couldn't forgive myself.... Our youngest son said, "Mom, did you get hurt?" no.."Did anyone else get hurt?" no.
"Did the car even have damage?" no.." They are JUST door panels, they can be replaced, you can't, so stop beating yourself up over it!" I am glad that he has such an attitude at his young age! Don't sweat the little things and enjoy life more..I know cruises may be a lot of bucks, but you have to look at it this way...if you have piddly things happen, you enjoy the good ones even more because without them, you would have no comparison to enable you to really enjoy the good ones..Most of all don't let past bad memories fester and remain with you for the rest of your life...don't dwell on them to where you just cannot move on with your life without talking about them over and over...be more forgiving and tolerant..it sure makes life more pleasurable for yourself and those around you, too! Each cruise to me is a new adventure and I want it to be different..that is what makes cruising fun!
