Just want to say that I'm anxious too, though I'm trying not to be. I work in a school and they were discussing precautions today. I heard of a school that closed because of a probable case of swine flu.

I am supposed to work at an event with a friend, collecting money at the check-in table. She doesn't want to do it any more. Are we supposed to stop our lives, or what? I worry about my adult kids, too.

Life is stressful enough for anxious people. How do we cope? I like your ideas, Cedar. I've got to try not to think about it so much.
