seems like when I have the time...

I had some time free today from having to do anything but entertain myself here


at my new apartment. I love it here and feel really lucky.


The free time though showed me a few things. I like a good project.


As I had free time today, I started to worry about the future. I worried about a lot of different


things. Making money - keeping safe - what if I had to leave. The insecurity of the future. Alternative work


that might be more remunerative.


I think I like a project - and maybe when I don't have those pressures imposed on me - I try and create busy ness on my own. and maybe worry is a fallout from it.


As long as I know this and am not mindless about it.

I like to think of the future as an unknown. We have to be prepared for the good and the bad and react according to our best interests. If we see the future as insecure then it's almost guaranteed to be!

I have the same worries. This is one of the reasons I'm depressed. I think most people are having the same worries. Hugs

Legitimate things to be worried about. When I start to worry about the future I try to change my thinking to positive thinking and I also try to turn it over to God..

The future is what Jim Morrison sang..."The end is always near etc etc.... You never know what the future will bring. You just have to live in the moment and think that things could be worse. Thats IMHO Mark.

    So I have been having a lot of health issues and my cardiologist felt that he didn't get clear enough images of my heart in the office, so he wanted to do a Trans-esophegeal heart Echocardiocgram in the hospital. I was pretty nervous about it, because I've never had any procedures related to my heart or any other major organs. I've had knee surgery and thyroid surgery, but to me anything to do...
