Let's worry about worrying.

There is a worrywart in my family, one person who takes great pleasure in worrying about this, that, and the other. That person has certain days for worrying about certain things and that would be fine if the worries were about things that really matter. But they do not. They are the little things like at 6 o'clock in the morning when it is cool outside let us worry about whether this jacket would be warm enough to make the short trek to the curb to get the morning papers, or would it be better to wear a sweater, and if so, should it be the gray sweater with the picture of the dove or would the blue sweater be more like it.
Today is a great day. The sun is shining, temperature for the pm. will be in the low seventies if we can believe the weatherman who had said that two days ago it would be 80 and on that day it barely made it to 72. OK we all make mistakes once in a while. No need to worry today. Nor ever.
Even in the long ago there was the saying for unnecessary worrying not to be afraid that the man would fall out of the moon. Worrying takes too much energy that could be better spent on thinking positively which is what I would like for most of the political ads on the tube to do.
And for those worriers who would like to quit worrying but seem to be unable to achieve that blessed state of mind let me refer you to any of the four gospels in the New Testament that feature examples galore of leaving the worries behind and live a life of joy in making a contribution to the wonderful world that God created, a world that stands in dire need of getting back on solid ground.
