Lord knows I've had a lot of reasons to be worried lately. And I know worrying isn't a good thing. For one, it causes my ulcer to flare up, and that's unpleasant. And secondly, it causes loss of sleep, which makes me cranky (and then no one wants to be around me). But no matter how hard I've tried, I have been totally unable to stop worrying. Until today, that is.
A dear (and incredibly wise) friend of mine----hi Bob!---offered some words of wisdom today. He told me that worry is like a rocking chair.....you move a lot, but you don't go anywhere. When I sat and thought about that, it was like a freight train hit me and I realized just how profound that statement is.
So from now on, when I start to worry, I'm just going to picture myself in a rocking chair and hopefully that will do the trick. :)
