O.K., I know after re-reading my last post things are not so bad. It's just my anxiety over it all that makes it feel unbearable. I feel better now after playing outside with Jimmy and reading part of Interior Freedom, the book Aunt Linda gave Maggie and I. There were some really good quotes from it. Here are a couple:
" Projecting things into the future crushes us- not experiencing suffering but anticipating it."
"Things seldom happen as we expect. Most of our fears and apprehensions turn out to be completely imaginary. Difficulties we anticipated become very simple in reality, and the real difficulties are things that didn't occur to us. It's better to accept things as they come, one after another, trusting that we will have the grace to deal with them at the right time, than to invent a host of scenarios about what may happen- scenarios that normally turn out to be wrong. The best way to prepare for the future is to put our hearts into the present."
