I'm A Worrier

Worry gets you nowhere but those of us afflicted with the syndrome have no choice.  We worry about everything, especially the things we have absolutely no control over...and maybe that's the problem.  The things in life we can't control seems to go haywire so, of course, we worry.

I want a stable world, a stable family, and a stable life.  I don't want illness, strife, or unhappiness.  I'd also like to win at the casino a bit more often than I do.

I think that only once in my life there was nothing for me to worry about and that worried me so I'm doomed to go through life this way.

I've gotten deeply interested in the universe lately and started to do some research on the galaxies out there.  We on earth are such a teensy speck in the universe that it's silly to even think we might be the only planet with life on it.  I'm hoping the vast expanse of the universe might mean it's where we travel when we die.  Funny, but I don't worry about being dead, just hope the dying isn't too uncomfortable.

When I thought of the universe before, it overwhelmed me so much with unanswerable questions that I had to leave it alone.  Now I'm more curious than overwhelmed.  I've looked at some of the photos taken by the Hubble telescope and they are magnificent to say the least.  I plan on buying 4 photos of some of the galaxies when I go to Florida in the fall and having them "plaqued" (I hope that's the right word).  I'll hang them in the apartment as a grouping so I can enjoy them regularly.  These photos are so beautiful that they fill your mind with joy that something this wonderful exists in our universe.

There's a showing of the Hubble telescope photos at our public library this month so Faye and I are going.  I'm just a little worried that something will come up to keep me away.
