Big picture, small picture

All my life I've been a "big picture" kind of guy, which I don't recommend, but in my old age this big picture has become more negative, and stressful, than ever, so I try to replace it with a stronger focus on the small picture. Making coffee, taking out the dog, cooking, writing, reading, TV,  email, blogging, the daily routines of existence, one foot after the other. I try to forget the big picture. When it works, it helps my disposition considerably.

I think this is what "hangin' in like Gunga Din" means.
