Problem solved...half way

Your life is ever changing. Sometimes we don't view the changes as a big deal, just part of everyday life. What seemed to be so important last week has faded into the next week and we move on. All worries gone to resurface another day. I had a patient come in the other day, she was 91. I am always quick to ask them the secrets to life. This woman lived on her own and had all her faculties about her. She was quick to say "don't worry". What? That is it! Ok how do we do that? That seems like a very tall order. If you know me~I worry about everything. Why do I do that? Am I even getting better with that? There are days I just throw it up to God. There is no sense worrying because what will be, will be. Oh I think it is that control thing again. Working on it. Plus I think it is a patience thing. Not too good at that too. Working on it. Well at least I am aware of it.

Knowing we have a problem is half way to solving it. Right?

BUt is it your problem? Funny how we tend to pick up other peoples' problems and dwell on them too. WHy do we do that? DOn't we have enough of our own to worry about?
IT is because of our kindheartedness that we try to help out others, sometimes it is easier to focus on other peoples' problem than are own. Sometimes it makes our problems seem so minute! WHy do we worry? What is, is is? IT has already been decided. Easy to say, hard to live by. Faith.
