It would just cause more anxiety.<br /><br />Kerri I would like to share a poem which I have just written about anxiety.

Earlier I had some news that I didn't see coming and it wasn't nice. In fact it has made me feel more anxious about stuff I shouldn't feel anxious about. Oh well, you live and learn...eventually. Or maybe you don't. I think there's probably no right or wrong answer here.Cathyhttp://www.wanderingsheila.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-17016312364496030822014-04-15T21:59:04.667+10:002014-04-15T21:59:04.667+10:00But do we really want to know what is hiding aroun...But do we really want to know what is hiding around the corner? The only certainty is that whenever I imagine I am in control and know what the future holds, it is like inviting the gods of randomness in. It would be easy to say the complete oppostive happens but no, some other wierdness invariably takes over. The better option? Hold on tight and enjoy the ride. The only thing I know about the future is that I will be completely wrong about what it holds.Bernadette Richardsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-16818727665896600092014-04-15T20:14:16.345+10:002014-04-15T20:14:16.345+10:00I do this a lot!

I still get surprised by life, because I'm not expecting anything to happen at a particular time or moment... so I still get those moments of excitement that make life so special! :)John Jameshttp://johnanthonyjames.com/noreply@blogger.com
