This made me think today

Very wise words.

Ive always been a worrier and my dad used to say "putyour head on the pillow and sleep forget today's worries". He was a great sleeper and hard worker as I think about him now as I lie awake he would be repeating that to me!

Good to read gq. If I wake in the night, which I frequently do, I worry about all sorts of things, that in the light of day seem quite ridiculous.

Thank you gq. I don't think that it's really saying 'don't worry' but seeing the small things can ease the worries a little.

I agree with your son bradfordlass.

Thanks for that Grannyqueenie I too have worried needlessly all my life. Worry achieves nothing good. I shall print this off.

I'm a worrier from way back and was once advised to make a list of what worried me and then come back, maybe a year later, to see if any of it eventuated.

Some did, some didn't but I understood that none of it changed or improved through my worrying.

Didn't stop me though, I'm still a worrier but it doesn't rule my life or stop me taking action when I can.

My son says 'Worrying is only caring by another name'.

Thank you for that grannyqueenie I need to print it out and put it above my desk in “that place” , in my handbag, my bedside cabinet drawer, under my pillow, in the car and everywhere else where my worries overtake me .

Yes. Lovely. I must take note.

That's lovely.
