Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 O.k., it may be something like this...i used to worry SO much...i used to worry so much that my husband and daughter would say if there was nothing to worry about i would think up something! Well, i must have worried myself into a stupor and haven't come out of it yet! Really, a few years ago our whole world (as we knew it) came crumbling down...husband lost job of 18 years, mother-in-law was diagnosed with untreatable lung cancer and died within 5 months, found an aunt that had been missing for 30 years ; ), tried our hand at our own business, went broke, packed up moved from Texas and started all over with family in Iowa, living with my brother 'till we could get a handle on things...not to mention all the "little" things that came up during this stint...actually we are in some ways still recovering! I learned that you can worry your self sick over things that you have no control over, or you can recognize the blessings in your life and be thankful, and take care of the things that you are able to take care of. Things DO work out! This is not to say that i don't ever worry ; ) it takes practice! Love y'all, Sunshine P.S. trying to catch up on all the news in the group...i'm days behind!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Okay now I understand what you mean about being a recovering worrier. I too have learned to only worrying about the more important stuff. Well important to me.LOL Most everything takes care of itself whether or not I worry about it anyway. Thanks for the in put! Like you I try to count all my blessing no matter how small. I am so thankful to see another day and to be able to enjoy all I can! Lots of Love Glenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there hope for me? I'm almost 58 and learned this nasty habit very early at my father's knee! (worry) I am thankful for all the good things in my life, and there are many, but danged if I don't still worry! Good to see you back online! Take care, love, squeek ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
