Wow what a year so far huh? !! Today was quite the sad day. I learned from my cousin in Ohio that my friend Patty's daughter had died suddenly . Only 45 yrs old. But I knew too she had had problems with drug abuse. My cousin said I should tell Patty her daughter had died. He saw it on FB. I said I am sure she knows already as it was her only child and they had reconciled recently Besides I had to think of what I could say as I never really know what when I am still in shock. My cousin got mad at me because I would not say I would tell her cause he said he had not been in touch with her for years. aaandd he actually cussed me out ! Next my son that practically lives on the street being alone out in AZ with a drug problem, texts me that he was refused selling plasma because his blood pressure was too high and to top it off my grand daughter his niece is sending him sad texts Did I mention she also has a drug problem. So here I am getting all this sad news when I am struggling with so many other things. I start praying of course and thinking of happy times and finally voila ! I find myself smiling about some things like the visit from my oldest daughter a couple years back. Hence this photo of us trying to all get in a selfie and laughing our buttes off about it. what do you do to stop worrying about things you have no control over ?

I’m a natural born worrier, so I found that distracting myself by reading helps a lot. Lovely photo!

All you can do is just relax and try not to think about it.

it does at times. It also is a form of getting realistic help from others that understand about things you are going through

I try to distract myself with something else but it doesn't always work. I'm sorry you were cussed out. That doesn't seem a bit fair.

yes yesterday the whole day seemed like people were being unfair to me. Worst thing too about getting old is seems you know so many people that just die around you. At least I think that is it .
