Amy Alkon, my trés chic friend, reports:

.. there’s no such thing as a “should” — just your preferred outcome when something happens. He “should have called you?” No, he didn’t call you. There is no should. Either it is or it ain’t — and what are you gonna do about it?

I find it a huge help, lately, to try to head off all of my agitation - internal or very loudly voiced - by asking myself that question. The answer is: Get on with things, do my best, and not let it get me too wound up.

(I still haven’t made that sign, but I will.)
