I am like Sherri…a constant worrier…I try to keep it under control but its ugly head does emerge.

There was one gentleman that I was getting to know and we each compiled a list of our positive traits and negative ones….I found it to be very interesting. Of course I did not pay attention to the negative ones till later in the relationship when a light bulb went off….”oh yea he said he was like this”.

I was born a worrier, and like my dad, tended to look on the gray side. However life in its myriad unfoldings, twists and challenges has taught me that worry about what’s to come or what has been is really not useful at all; nor is dwelling on what shoulda, coulda, woulda…Kicking and screaming I’ve become much more philosophical about disappointments, and have truly begun to see that all I have is this moment in time. I can choose to squander it with negativity or embrace it with joy. And paradoxically enough, I’ve learned to be joyful because of the hard lessons!

I don’t know if any of this made sense to anyone but me =)
