Yes. A lot. Some days more than others. Guess if this is one of those days. . . . Congratulations, and thanks for playing.
I am proud to say I am an Equal Opportunity Worrier. I worry about the future. I worry about the past. I worry about the present. I worry if I'm not worrying. If I'm not worrying, I worry about what I'll worry about next. If I'm not worrying, I worry about WHY I'm not worrying, etc., etc. I even worried that I had blogged about worry before. (So I checked and I hadn't.) (But what if I just didn't notice it??? ooohhh. . . . . )
I know worrying never makes me feel any better. Nor does it ever solve an issue I am worrying about. And I honestly do make an attempt to talk myself out of it. Some days that works better than others. Guess if this one of those days. . . .Congratulations, you're two for two.
Some days I think my brain barrels into Worrytown just because it can't think of anything else to do. Maybe if I start doing random mathematical equations in my head. . . .hahahahaha!!! (I thought I'd throw in a little humor. You're welcome.)
Like many other of my lesser loved attributes (my extreme shortitude, the curly hair), I have embraced my propensity for worry and accepted it for what it is. It's part of who I am and I have learned to not take it too seriously.
Now, if I could just figure out how to parlay it into a career.

All I need is a jingle.
This is one of the strangest things I've ever seen, so I worry you've already seen it.
