Don't Worry!

Yes I guess you are right there and I am just as bad on that one. And I guess I will always worry about the Future.

That is surely true! If we live in the past, or worry about the future, we are missing the present. And since we can't go to or change the past, and the future soon enough becomes the present, we miss a lot of life and living.. :))

I really wish I could do that but I think every woman ( and man) worry what will happen to their children or their grandchildren , My parents both have Alzheimer's as you know and I try not to but I do worry what is going to happen to them in the future , will I still be able to take care of them in their own home , we try so hard not to worry , but if that's your nature it is so hard to go against it , xxxxx

No you can't change the past, but you can enjoy today and look foward to another day tomorrow. My motto is life is what you make it. So make it great!.

I absolutely agree with you. There's no use in worrying about something we don't have control over. As my dad wold always say to my mom who is a worry-wart, don't let yourself die a thousand times. Worrying is like showing distrust towards God. If we trust God enough, then we know that He will not forsake us no matter what the future holds.

I agree with you and live with the quotation that hangs on my kitchen wall..."Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday...and all is well." So much of what people worry about never happens. I have come to see that all we have is each moment...and life can change in an instant. Worrying about what happened in the past is pointless...as one wise person said; "Even God cannot change the past." After years of worrying and fretting and 'shoulding myself' for years I finally made a decision to stop the insanity of it all...and live in the joyful now-ness of my moment by moment experiences. This "Que Sara...Sara...What will be will be attitude has made my life much happier...and healthier.

I try to enjoy the present as much as possible. Nevertheless I do worry about the future now and again. Sometimes I just can´t help it, because it´s difficult to enjoy the present when we´ve got a lot of problems. It´s important though to develop positive thinking to a maximum and not to think too much about what´s expecting us in the future. One thing that´s a hundred per cent true is that we can´t control the past. Unfortunately... XXX Dana

You are so right. I have worried about things and then when they happen they are not half as bad as I thought they were going to be. But then I think if I worry, it makes them turn out less painful. Therapy needed me thinks!!

I wish my grandma would take that to heart. I know she had so much responsibility growing up, and then rearing a family and being a pastor's wife, but she frets like no one I've ever seen! About silly things even.

How true that is, but I think it's just our nature to worry about the future. I have learned to take one day at a time

This is 100% true and true for me. I always gets thing worse just by worrying too much of everything. a very simple example is-if I have an interview I just get so tensed so tensed that I fail before i appear the interview bpard. This always make me so embarassed but I cant avoid this

i wrap present badly for gran and ruin it. she no mind. she like cheese grater. i love mylot. you great friend. many great friends.

Hi mummymo! :) You're right about that. Worry rocks our boat and keeps us "busy", but we go nowhere. Worry just makes us miserable today. You're right about that. Let's always savor the present moment. (",)

I always do, stay in the past, now want to alter the situation, no courage to take steps, it was stated that because it missed the stars and weeping, will miss the moon, I know, but is incapable of change...
