I admire that quality in you. :) My own version of emotional problems cause me to be way too serious about everything. My husband is way too serious about everything. My son (at the advanced age of seven) is way too serious about everything. Sometimes I can manage inspired silliness, but nonchalance is way beyond me.
A scratch on my car is no problem, unless I don't know how it got there. Then all the OCD thoughts start up big time. Did I hit someone and didn't realize it? How can I be sure I didn't hit someone? Maybe I hit someone but chose not to remember it? And financial problems bring big worries about bringing disaster to my family.
You said "I'm pleased to find myself alive each day, and try to plan fun, interesting things to do and have.". That is an astonishingly wonderful way to look at the world to me. I'm not sure I ever had that talent.
