"I've got sand in my trousers which is not ideal."

One of my favorite things Bear Grylls (Man vs. Wild) has ever said is the above title. I know this quote seems entirely random but it has been very applicable for me lately. I relate the sand to small irritations (hehehe) in life, the things that are little that drive you insane and you can't shake them. There have been many small things that bug me and I have no idea why. Half the time you feel the irritation but can't find the source of it, which is entirely how I feel.

So with that being said I will face this "sand" with the attitude of Bear Grylls. Even though it is not ideal to have some irritations driving you mad, you need to keep going and work through them because let's just face it, there are ALWAYS irritations and it doesn't help to dwell on them. Bear Grylls just keeps going on his mission for survival in the african dessert and doesn't let that sand get to him so neither will I. I won't  let my tiny annoyances ruin the big picture!
