So much of what we worry about
is pointless.
We fight against something
because of our idea of what it will bring
and then find that it is
harmless,
or even pleasant.
So much that we deplore
passes (ultimately) unnoticed.
I think ALL worry
(not to be confused with foresight)
is worse than a waste
of our irreplaceable moments,
hours,
lives.
"Later is just a thought."
Says Marianne Williamson.
So when do we have permission to stop worrying?
Well here it is:
Take the weekend off from worry!
Don't feel guilty-
You HAVE permission!
warmly, cloudia

ReplyDeleteSo true. My daughter was upset her friend was in a bad mood. I told her to think like a man and walk away from it and live and let it sort itself out. I couldn't believe my ears. But she did and all was well. You are right.
