I have a problem, it is a happy one, I think.
It dawned on me today that I don't have anything to worry about. Now, I know that sounds strange and probably a little obnoxious but remember, I'm 60 in two months so I've paid my worry dues, I think.

I worried about my parents for years but they are gone now. I worried about poor old Gypsy but she's gone now too. I don't worry about Will anymore...I let him worry about me! I'm building a house but the builder is so good, I don't even worry about that! I think I'm where I have wanted to be most of my life but it feels funny.

I'm involved in politics up here...trying to unseat our repub delegation and I'm doing some stuff on Election Reform and I worry about those things, I guess but, it is not the same as worrying about people. I think I need to volunteer at something hands on...I think I'm a worry addict!

1. You could rent yourself out--worry for someone else
Make a million, I bet!

2. Sounds like you're in a good place, Raven.
I still worry about my grown kids, but it gets a little better each year.

3. Worry is one way
we show our love of those close to us.

:pals: There are other ways, obviously, we know you love Will. It's a lovely place to be in your life.

4. Wish I had that problem...
School gives me enough to gripe about. Gee, I can't wait for the "real" world...

:P :P :P

5. Here, I'll knock on some wood for you
Perhaps I'm still in worry mode, but I'd ~never~ post that in public :scared:
