What Is Something That You Worry About?

Tweet

I have found that as I get older, I worry more about my family members. I don’t like to worry and I know that worrying doesn’t keep something from happening. So, worrying is a waste of time, but I still do it for some reason. I think, as a person gets older, worrying is connected to the realization that we can actually die. So, we are more aware of our mortality. As a young person, I don’t remember worrying about much of anything. I was very active and ready to try just about everything, when it came to activities. I learned to skate and ski and ride horses and swim and I didn’t think about the fact that I could get hurt. When I see my grandchildren skate boarding and jumping on the trampoline, I’m always afraid someone is going to get hurt. I have flown all over the world and was never afraid of flying, but now, when I know that my children are traveling by air, I’m always thinking about what can happen to them, if the plane goes down. I am always so relieved when they call me and tell me they have arrived safely at their destination. Do you worry about things like that? OR something else? This world is a dangerous place anymore. So, there are many situations that can cause us to worry about the safety of our family members.
