This was a facebook status of mine from last night.
I am a worrier. No matter how much "older and wiser" I get, I still manage to work myself into a frenzy of worry. I am not a daily worrier, but occasionally things pop up that have me fretting. I have a history of worrying about the worst possible outcome of a situation. My imagination gets the best of me and I prepare myself for the worst, always. I let it consume me and it's awful. And 99% of the time, I have worried over nothing!
I am also one of those people that never wants to hurt anyone's feelings or to leave anyone out. I want everyone to be happy, if I can help it. So when that occasion happens when things go slightly awry, I am always certain I am to blame. Sigh.....I am a bit of a freak, right?
I realize there are things I can't control and I need to let go and let things happen. I can only do my best to do the right thing whenever possible. But, I do make mistakes. I sometimes do or say the wrong things. And it festers inside of me.

"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; it empties today of its strength."
I got this from a co-worker several years ago. What a great quote and if only I could abide by it....maybe a good new year's resolution?
