little annoyances

As humans we tend to classify things as good or bad. You tell your child or animal that they're bad and praise them when they are good. Some things taste bad, others good. A book, movie or musician can be bad or good. Even our relationship with God. We often think of ourselves as bad or good, but that's not the whole truth. It all is interpreted  differently person to person. One of the things I've been struggling with is getting annoyed at people or things or situations. It keeps me from seeing the way annoyance unchecked has been harming my faith and my relationships. It's always easier to say "that annoys me" than to actually do something about it, if possible. I think of a child kicking the back of the front seat in the car. I think about someone talking during the movie. I think about how people sometimes are late. I think about realizing that none of those things are strong enough annoyances to warrant strong emotional response. The mom yells at the child who was kicking the seat. The movie watchers pass blame on the talker and end up rewinding the movie because they missed a part. When people are late it can cause scheduling errors and missed opportunities.
But why am I writing this?
There is more to life than being continually annoyed at everything and everyone.
It is our choice... What will we do with those minor annoyances?
