Mel,

Our modern day life sure does bring that out doesn't it? When I'm feeling strong, a way that has helped me is to live in the moment. So much of what we imagine will happen, doesn't. The other, for me, is to call upon my higher power. When I can tap into that, the worry fades and faith arrives.

I need to practice both more (I've gotten lax) because I honestly feel the more I do both of those, the better things get. jmho.
