Since it's hard for me to think of myself as any kind of "hero" I will try to live up to it. You said it all with "tomorrow is another day."<br /><br />I think you are brave, talented, and very well put together.

I get so sad reading all about Rolex watches and Texas Angus Beef Steaks that I start to cry right there. If I have friends or family in the car they ask "Phoebe, what's the matter?" I say nothing of course.<br /><br />The world does get overwhelming and it hurts so terribly. Not only is our world crashing around us, but our own lives tend to have loads of stress as well.<br /><br />Asking "Am I okay?" is a really good idea. Taking your life one day at a time, moment by moment, is the best thing any of us can do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-7680780721224641622009-06-17T23:49:31.783-07:002009-06-17T23:49:31.783-07:00I so very much needed to read this post.

My one child is out of the state visiting his father; the other is near but I haven't had much contact with her the past few days. That's unusual for us. Anyway, my instincts are almost always right on target with my kids. Something doesn't seem right.<br /><br />When I get this feeling, I often don't learn of the negative "thing" that has caused it for a few days. So I go through this mental checklist in order to keep myself from getting too anxious. Basically, I'll ask the same questions you've mentioned. Today was just one of those days, all day. Then I got home from work and read your blog......All I can say is "thanks." We're all okay, even if we don't feel okay sometimes.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007131858060167081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-72268361161842962042009-06-17T15:58:03.434-07:002009-06-17T15:58:03.434-07:00This is just what I needed, right this very moment...This is just what I needed, right this very moment, day, hour, week.

Keeping busy helps, unfortunately it's not usually the type of busy I'm supposed to be doing, the one that will help reduce the anxiety in the long run (if I could just face it today).<br /><br />sigh!

I love the yellow flowers too :D So pretty.<br /><br />I've learned to live in the moment....this took many, many years of trials before I finally got it. It truly is the only way to live.

I do feel defeated by emotions at times. Then I say to myself "Are you healthy right now?" and I say "Yes" . Some days are harder than others. Especially when I am trying to look at the big picture of life. I worry so much, but it really does no good, except motivate me most of the time.<br /><br />Sometimes I realize I can be my worst enemy and I am trying so hard to change that.<br /><br />Thanks for the beautiful words and blog.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00689827708966734506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-51098639841758384662009-06-17T11:04:18.372-07:002009-06-17T11:04:18.372-07:00Mountains and mole hills or Chicken Little?

My husband always says, "Is worrying going to help the situation?" Of course not. He's right. So I have to train myself to think of the consequences and deal with them logically. And of course, I always PRAY. That seems to ease the worrying.<br /><br />We ALL have our bad days - you are not alone.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756564685282866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-11282799417068012552009-06-17T07:09:58.942-07:002009-06-17T07:09:58.942-07:00Whenever I catch myself in the "worry" o...Whenever I catch myself in the "worry" or "depressed" mode, I wallow a bit but talk to myself that I'll just wallow in it within a given time frame, after which I replace with counting my blessings. I came from a 3rd world country and I've seen many people feel grateful about their existence even if they just live in shanties without a bathroom, nor clean water, nor even food for the next meal - and yet they were happy. I'm blessed to live here in California and have all my basic needs met. Just thinking of this helps lift the blues away.Spiritual Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843760828774820583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-39289449157000930382009-06-17T07:04:31.384-07:002009-06-17T07:04:31.384-07:00Wow, as you so often to, you posted just the right...Wow, as you so often to, you posted just the right words, as just the right time I needed to read them.
