Don't waste your energy on worrying Too many of us worry about things that we cannot change. Although worrying gives you something to focus on, there are more productive ways to spend your time. Instead of worrying about the things you cannot control, remind yourself that worrying doesn't bring change. If it is a situation that you can control, then there is no reason to worry! Find a solution and spend your energy fulfilling it. If nothing else, just talk to someone about your concerns. Getting them out in the open tends to help put your mind at ease. Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere. - Anonymous

I love that quote.    The other night I had a horrible nightmare about my upcoming PS--basically the doctor walked out on me after the surgery and told he wouldn't take care of me anymore...CRAZY dream, but when I woke up, I was terrified.  So even when I try to take it one day at a time and not worry, my subconscious does it for me!
