lynn p., you said a mouthful here. If only we could really live by these words, we would all be better off and live more peaceful lives.
I hope I don't appear to optimistic or simplistic by saying the above statement. I just feel bad when I see a person worry over something they have minimal control over. Stress is so damaging to our bodies, so it defeats the purpose to worry about dying, when stress is a killer. Minimize the stress thereby improving the quality of life.

I also want to share I'm no stranger to anxiety, so I'm not talking from lack of experience or empathy. As a child I was plagued by panic attacks -this was a long time ago and I had no clue what was wrong with me. I never told my mom, so I suffered alone - scared not knowing what was wrong with me. Luckily my shyness and anxiety lessened and I learned coping techniques.
